Growing businesses often face complex legal challenges but may not yet require a full-time General Counsel (GC). That’s where I step in. My Fractional General Counsel services are designed to provide flexible, high-quality legal support tailored to the unique needs of start-ups, scale-ups, and early-stage companies.
As your fractional GC, I become an integral part of your team, offering ongoing legal guidance without the overhead of a full-time hire. Whether it’s handling day-to-day legal matters, advising on strategic decisions, or navigating regulatory and compliance requirements, I provide the expertise and solutions you need to operate confidently.
The practical, commercially-focused advice I offer is backed by my extensive experience in both private practice and in-house roles, positioning me to fully understand the challenges faced by fast-growing businesses. My expertise allows you to strike the right balance between minimising legal risk and pursuing opportunities.
Hann Legal's goal is to empower your business with the tools and knowledge it needs to thrive.
I take a hands-on approach to identifying and addressing legal risks before they become issues, ensuring your business is protected.
As your business grows, I adapt to your evolving needs, providing the right level of legal expertise at every stage.
I work closely with your leadership team to align legal strategy with your commercial goals, helping you make informed decisions that drive growth.
My fractional model gives you access to senior-level legal expertise at a fraction of the cost of a full-time GC.
Contracts form the backbone of any business relationship, and ensuring they are clear, enforceable, and aligned with your commercial objectives is crucial. I draft and negotiate agreements that protect your interests while fostering strong partnerships. Whether it’s service agreements, supplier contracts, or partnership deals, I help you navigate complex terms, mitigate risks, and secure favourable outcomes.
Your people are key to your success, but managing employment matters can be challenging without the right legal support. I assist with drafting employment contracts, policies, and handbooks, and provide guidance on disciplinary actions, redundancies, or disputes. My aim is to help you create a compliant, fair, and effective workplace that supports both your business goals and your team.
Intellectual property (IP) is one of the most valuable assets for many businesses. I help you identify and safeguard your IP, including trademarks, copyrights, and patents, ensuring your innovations and branding are fully protected. If you’re licensing your IP or acquiring the rights to use others’ IP, I provide expert advice to maximise value and minimise risk in your agreements.
Regulatory requirements vary widely across industries, and staying compliant is essential to avoid fines, reputational damage, or disruption. I help you understand and meet your obligations, from data protection laws (such as GDPR) to sector-specific standards. My proactive approach ensures compliance is built into your operations, giving you peace of mind.
Whether you’re raising capital, welcoming investors, or preparing for an acquisition, these milestones require careful legal navigation. I provide end-to-end support, from reviewing term sheets and negotiating agreements to conducting due diligence and ensuring all documentation is in order. My focus is on securing terms that align with your long-term goals while maintaining efficiency during high-stakes negotiations.
Disputes can arise at any stage, but with the right support, they don’t have to disrupt progress. I resolve issues efficiently through negotiation, mediation, or litigation if needed, while proactively managing risk to minimise exposure. My expertise ensures your business is prepared to tackle challenges and seize opportunities with confidence..
