Empowering healthcare startups to innovate, execute, and scale with confidence with Fractional GC and other affordable senior-level legal support

The Challenge for Healthcare Startups

01

Significant exposure to regulatory risks

Healthcare startups are often heavily regulated and face complex, continuously changing laws. Noncompliance can result in significant penalties, business interruption, and reputational damage.

02

Constrained budgets limit access to critical legal services

Unaffordable and unpredictable legal costs for experienced regulatory counsel often limit access to critical legal resources in the early stages of growth.

03

Managing legal specialists is time-consuming and costly

Companies need access to specialized legal services (e.g., tax, IP, litigation) but startups often lack the time and resources to manage these relationships effectively.
