The Fractional Chief Growth Officer Liberty Law Firms Trust to Own Growth End-to-End
Your firm markets hard, runs an intake team, and works its referrals — while no single person owns the number they’re all supposed to move. A fractional CGO sits above the silos and makes every team pull toward one revenue number.
In Short
What is a fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm?
A fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm is a senior revenue executive who takes ownership of the firm’s whole growth engine on a part-time, contracted basis. Unlike a CMO who owns marketing or a COO who owns operations, the CGO works above 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
- Ideal when a $1M–$100M+ firm is losing leads in the handoffs
- Engagements usually run 6–18 months, then ease into advisory support
