Growth Leadership for Casa de Oro-Mount Helix Law Firms, Sitting Above the Silos
You spend on marketing, field the leads, and chase business development — but each one runs on its own metric and qualified leads slip through the handoffs. A fractional Chief Growth Officer takes the whole engine and aligns the entire engine behind one scoreboard.
The Short Version
What is a fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm?
A fractional CGO is a seasoned growth leader who owns the entire revenue engine a few days a week rather than full-time. Where a CMO owns marketing and a COO owns operations, the CGO works above the silos — connecting marketing, intake, sales, and retention into one accountable system instead of each working hard while qualified leads leak between the handoffs.
- Senior revenue leadership for about 20–40% of a full-time hire’s price
- A fit for $1M–$100M+ firms whose marketing, intake, and sales report separately
- Typically 6–18 months, then a part-time advisory cadence
Above the Silos
Why no one owns the baton
Marketing, intake, sales, and retention each run their own leg. A fractional CGO owns the baton — so qualified leads stop getting dropped between teams.
Marketing
Pointed at qualified pipeline and cost-per-signed-case, not clicks.
Speed-to-lead
Every qualified lead answered fast — none left to cool.
Sales & BD
Disciplined follow-up that turns interest into signed clients.
Referrals
Happy clients recycle into new pipeline.
