Loblaw

Fractional counsel who felt like part of the team from day one

Loblaw customer story

The context

Enterprise legal teams do not have time to babysit a slow ramp. When Loblaw brought on Fractional InHouse™ counsel through Goodlawyer, the expectation was immediate contribution alongside existing internal groups: meetings, strategic discussions, and real files.

Integration, not a side seat

The fractional lawyer embedded with the team: same cadence, same stakeholders, and enough continuity to own workstreams (including capital-project support across provinces), rather than only answering one-off questions.

That integration is why the engagement has renewed across multiple cycles: counsel who already know the people and the work beat starting over.

Our Fractional InHouse counsel hit the ground running and quickly became integrated with our internal groups. She felt like part of our team from day one, adding immediate value.

The outcome

Loblaw gained senior capacity that behaved like an internal teammate: immediate value, lasting integration, and a model the legal team could keep renewing as the work continued.
