At Clearlake, we support experienced in-house lawyers, from top-tier backgrounds, to build a thriving Fractional GC practice of their own.

We will take you from in-house lawyer to independent fractional counsel, with a portfolio of your own clients, in a matter of months.

Let us help you take control of your legal career as part of our collaborative community of lawyers.

Why Clearlake?

Fractional GCs want to focus their time on advising their clients and doing great work. Few have experience with marketing or managing the compliance burden and technological complexity of running a sole practice. Clearlake is here to provide the ideal solution.

How does it work?

Your law-firm-as-a-service

We offer a fully outsourced law-firm-as-a-service for lawyers wanting to build a fractional in-house counsel practice. Lawyers on the Clearlake platform operate within our fully-regulated, fully-insured, world-class infrastructure. Your law firm is ready for you on day one, with zero investment required. In return, we simply retain a small percentage of any fees you bill, once those fees are settled.

Sales and marketing support

Each Clearlake lawyer has their own bespoke business development program run by a multi-skilled marketing team and fully funded by Clearlake. Each partner’s marketing program generates a regular stream of client opportunities and we support you at every stage to turn those opportunities into paying clients.

A collaborative community

We are a cooperative, first and foremost, and we firmly believe that we are stronger and more prosperous when we pull together. We meet regularly to collaborate on every aspect of our operations. Each of our independent practitioners is part of a diverse community in which we support each other, refer work to one another and enjoy each other’s company.

Compliance and back office

We provide everything you could possibly need for modern legal practice, from SRA authorisation and professional indemnity insurance through to IT systems, full back office support and wrap-around compliance systems. You will step into your own enterprise-grade virtual law firm on day one and get to work immediately.
