Fractional legal counsel for startups and scaleups

Get experienced legal support without hiring a full-time in-house lawyer. We work as an extension of your team, helping you stay on top of contracts, compliance, governance and the legal questions that come with growth.

Legal support that works like part of your team

When legal questions start coming up more often, bringing in a lawyer one matter at a time can get slow and expensive. Fractional legal counsel gives you ongoing access to someone who knows your business, your team and how you work.

‍

We can step in on contracts, employment, governance, compliance and the day-to-day legal questions that come with growth, without the cost or commitment of a full-time in-house hire.

Why use fractional legal counsel?

You get ongoing legal support from someone who already understands your business, without the cost of a full-time in-house hire.

You can scale the support up or down as things change, and spend less time re-briefing lawyers every time something comes up.

You might also hear it called fractional GC, fractional general counsel or outsourced general counsel. The idea is the same: experienced legal support that works as part of your team.

Why partner with LUNA?

Legal questions rarely sit neatly on their own. A new hire, customer contract, funding round or expansion can quickly touch legal, tax and finance at the same time.

‍

With LUNA, your fractional counsel can work alongside our accounting, tax and VCFO teams, so you get joined-up advice without briefing different advisers from scratch.

We can scale the support up or down as your needs change.

What our clients say

Some nice words from our clients past and present.

Their proactive, friendly approach and attention to detail have saved us countless hours, allowing us to focus on growing our portfolio. Highly recommend LUNA for any venture capital firm looking for reliable and professional financial support."

Sunday Berry

Head Of Operations, Rampersand

"We’ve worked with LUNA for over 2 years. Their experience within the start-up landscape and how they adapt to different stages of venture building initially attracted us. Since then, they have provided legal, financial and consulting services; regardless of the team, the care and expertise shown has been a real stand out. Always agile, approachable and a pleasure to deal with!"

Hinda Crosbie

Head of Ventures. SIP Ventures

Praj Udupa

Head of Finance, Future Group

"Working with LUNA is a game-changer for startups. Their team has a deep understanding of the unique challenges businesses face, and they offer proactive, tailored solutions that truly support growth. With LUNA, you get more than just legal advice – you get a partner who is invested in your success and makes complex legal matters clear and manageable."

Glasshouse Venture Studio

"The LUNA team has been amazing to work with. Not only are they true domain experts who know their field inside and out, but they also have a rare ability to break down complex legal matters into simple, easy-to-understand concepts. Their unique combination of deep legal expertise and a pragmatic, commercial perspective makes them an excellent partner. Highly recommend to any other funds or startups alike."

Michelle Vu

Investment Manager, LaunchVic

"The team at LUNA continues to be a valuable partner for our business. Their ability to work through projects in a collaborative and supportive manner makes LUNA much more than a service provider- they become an extension of your team."

Matt Scully

Co-Founder & CEO, Sports Where I Am

"UbiPark had been working with large law firms, while competent, were expensive and lacked an understanding of the unique challenges faced by startups. LUNA’s deep experience provided us with the tailored guidance and expertise we needed to get UbiPark off the ground effectively. Their support was instrumental in navigating the early stages of our journey. The LUNA team genuinely cares about our journey, and truly understands it and provides expert guidance and unwavering support, making us feel like we were never alone."

Mosstyn Howell

Founder & CEO, UbiPark

"Before working with LUNA, everything took a long time, with lots of waiting. Their incredible response time has made a huge difference. Simplicity at every stage of the journey, with clear quoting, straightforward invoicing, easy-to-follow explanations, and their ability to simplify "lawyer language" Highly recommended. "

Suzanne McConchie

Head of Business Development, Barwon Asset Solutions

"LUNA's strong reputation and peer validation made our choice easy. Their clear understanding of the founder journey and their ability to adapt their support accordingly. Thanks to their services and support we successfully secured our funding round. I could feel the entire team working behind the scenes to inform the best path forward!"

Nikki Tugano

CEO & Founder, SeenCulture

"Prior to LUNA, we were very hands-on in managing our accounting. Constantly checking Xero to ensure accuracy. These days, we save an incredible amount of time because through LUNA's expertise, it is handled carefully, and the team has implemented intelligent systems to catch any issues early. Everything is done correctly and promptly."
