Fractional General Counsel Services

Crypto-Native General Counsel Services

Murphy's Law serves as outside general counsel for crypto startups, DAOs, and growing crypto businesses that need consistent legal guidance without the overhead of an in-house legal hire. This includes contract review, corporate governance, employment matters, vendor negotiations, and day-to-day legal decision-making.

Corporate Structure & DAO Governance

Fractional general counsel services provide crypto companies with on-demand access to experienced legal counsel for routine business matters and strategic decisions. The firm becomes an integrated part of the business team, providing guidance on operational legal issues, reviewing and negotiating commercial agreements, advising on hiring and employment law compliance, establishing corporate governance structures for DAOs and crypto entities, managing relationships with outside counsel for specialized matters, and making risk-based decisions on everyday legal questions.

Flexible Engagement Model

This service is designed for crypto companies that need more than occasional legal advice but are not yet ready to hire a full-time general counsel. The firm provides consistent availability and institutional knowledge of the business while allowing flexible engagement that scales with company needs. Services are tailored to the unique legal challenges of crypto businesses including DAO governance, token holder rights, smart contract terms, and decentralized operations.
