Fractional General Counsel

Description
We're looking for a General Counsel to lead legal at Ffern. It's a senior role with real influence: you'll sit alongside our leadership team as a trusted voice on risk and judgment, helping a fast-growing British brand make bold decisions with confidence.
At around one day a week, it's built for an experienced GC who wants meaningful, strategic work that fits alongside a wider portfolio.
What you need to know: The role will report to our Chief of Staff and will be an ongoing contract at around one day a week, with more time at the start while you settle in. Day rate open, depending on experience. UK-based, with occasional days at our London office.
If you're a commercially minded lawyer who enjoys being a partner to the business, we'd love to hear from you.

Requirements
This is a generalist role, and we value judgment over encyclopedic knowledge. No one covers every area in depth, and we don't expect you to. What matters is knowing what to handle yourself, what to hand to specialist counsel, and where. You'll have the autonomy to shape how legal works here, build thoughtful process as we grow, and be the person leadership turns to when the answer isn't clear-cut.
