The Fractional Chief Growth Officer Westminster Law Firms Trust to Own Growth End-to-End
Your Westminster practice invests in marketing, intake, and BD — but each one runs on its own metric and qualified leads slip through the handoffs. A fractional CGO sits above the silos and makes every team pull toward one revenue number.
Quick Answer
What is a fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm?
A fractional CGO is a seasoned growth leader who takes ownership of the firm’s whole growth engine on a part-time, contracted basis. Rather than owning one function like marketing or ops, the CGO works above the silos — making demand, intake, conversion, and retention move the same scoreboard instead of each working hard while qualified leads leak between the handoffs.
- 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
- Typically 6–18 months, then a part-time advisory cadence
The Revenue Relay
Growth is a relay — and leads get dropped at the handoffs
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.
Speed-to-lead
No good lead left to go cold.
Sales & BD
Structured pursuit from inquiry to engagement.
Referrals
Happy clients recycle into new pipeline.

FAQ
Common questions

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.
