The moment that sparked Unified Law?

Final round GC interview.

Big title. Bigger paycheck.

And then an exec said:
“The last GC didn’t stay in his lawyer lane.”

That was all I needed to hear.

They didn’t want a partner. They wanted a redliner. Someone to sit quietly, not shape decisions.

That moment gave me clarity.

I didn’t want to be a well-paid prisoner.
I wanted to lead.

So I built a place for GCs who think like business partners. And for founder-led companies that may not be ready for a full-time GC but still want the benefit of one.

That’s the model. That’s Unified Law.

The best GCs are not rule-followers. They are advisors, operators, and strategic thinkers.

And companies that get this are winning.

You can see it in the numbers:
✔ 15 Fortune 500 CEOs are law grads
✔ Nearly half of U.S. companies have lawyers in executive roles
✔ GCs are helping shape strategy, not just clean up after it

And you can see it in the careers of:
Ken Frazier (Merck)
Brian Moynihan (Bank of America)
Indra Nooyi (PepsiCo)
Ruth Porat (Alphabet)
Rosalind Brewer (Walgreens)
Laura Schumacher (AbbVie)

These aren’t outliers. They’re the evolution.

If you’re a founder thinking about hiring your first GC, here’s the truth:

You don’t need to wait until you’re “big enough.”

You need legal that thinks like a business partner right now.

And if you’re a GC in transition, tired of being told to stay in your lane, let's talk.

Fractional is fundable.

We built Unified Law for this exact moment.
