Fractional Chief Growth Officer
Growth Leadership for Dove Canyon Law Firms, Sitting Above the Silos
Your Dove Canyon practice invests in marketing, intake, and BD — 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 makes every team pull toward one revenue number.
Quick Answer
What is a fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm?
A fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm in Dove Canyon is an experienced revenue executive who owns the entire revenue engine on a part-time, contracted basis. Rather than owning one function like marketing or ops, the CGO orchestrates across the silos — making demand, intake, conversion, and retention move the same scoreboard instead of optimizing alone while good leads slip through the gaps.
- Executive growth leadership at roughly 20–40% of a full-time CGO’s cost
- Built for $1M–$100M+ firms where the teams don’t share one number
- Most last 6–18 months before shifting to a lighter advisory rhythm
The Model
Why no one owns the baton
Each team runs hard, but leads cool in the handoffs. A CGO owns the whole relay and the one number it feeds.
Marketing
Measured by cases, not impressions.
Intake
No good lead left to go cold.
Conversion
Disciplined follow-up that turns interest into signed clients.
Retention
Signed clients become repeat matters and referrals.
The Difference
What changes when one owner runs the number
The gap isn’t budget; it’s ownership of the handoffs.
