Growth Leadership for Marina Law Firms, Sitting Above the Silos
Your firm markets hard, runs an intake team, and works its referrals — yet they report separately and good leads cool off between teams. We work above the silos and unifies demand, intake, conversion, and retention under one owner.
The Short Version
What is a fractional CGO, and why do Marina firms hire one?
A fractional CGO is a seasoned growth leader who takes ownership of the firm’s whole growth engine on a fractional schedule. Rather than owning one function like marketing or ops, the CGO works above the silos — connecting marketing, intake, sales, and retention into one accountable system instead of optimizing alone while good leads slip through the gaps.
- Top-tier growth leadership at a fraction — roughly 20–40% — of a full-time CGO
- A fit for $1M–$100M+ firms whose marketing, intake, and sales report separately
- Engagements usually run 6–18 months, then ease into advisory support
The Model
The revenue relay a fractional CGO owns
Marketing, intake, sales, and retention each run their own leg. A fractional CGO owns the baton — so qualified leads stop getting dropped between teams.
Demand
Pointed at qualified pipeline and cost-per-signed-case, not clicks.
Speed-to-lead
Every qualified lead answered fast — none left to cool.
Conversion
Disciplined follow-up that turns interest into signed clients.
Referrals
Happy clients recycle into new pipeline.
Where Revenue Leaks
What changes when one owner runs the number
The gap isn’t budget; it’s ownership of the handoffs.
Before a CGO
- Three teams, three dashboards, no shared number
- Qualified leads cool off in the handoffs
- Growth means buying more ad spend
- Accountability is diffused
Aligned
- A single source of truth across every team
- No qualified lead left to go cold
- More cases without a bigger budget
- A single accountable owner
The Payoff
One number, owned and moved every week
The number
One unified revenue scoreboard — owned by one executive, reported weekly, and moved on purpose.

FAQ
Common questions

Q.How is a fractional CGO different from a CMO or COO?+
Where a CMO handles marketing and a COO handles operations, a CGO orchestrates across them — owning the whole revenue engine rather than a single function.

Q.What does a fractional CGO actually own?+
The revenue number — marketing oversight, intake and speed-to-lead, conversion and business development, and retention, referrals, and lifetime value, all on one unified scoreboard.
Q.What size law firm benefits from a fractional CGO?+
Firms in the $1 million to $100 million+ range get the most value, especially when marketing, intake, and sales each work hard but report separately and qualified leads slip through the handoffs.
