Fractional General Counsel

Full Legal Team,
Embedded in Your Business.
Not on Your Payroll.

A full-time GC in Singapore costs S$200–300k per year — before pension plans, benefits, or equity. LDU's Fractional GC gives you a dedicated team of 4 legal professionals at a fraction of that cost. Same outcome. Radically different economics.
