Founder Janet Bawcom responds to growing demand for embedded, flexible, business-focused counsel

AUSTIN, Texas – Veteran in-house counsel and business attorney Janet Bawcom has launched General Counsel Solutions, a firm providing senior-level outside general counsel services through a flexible, fractional model.

Designed for startups, growth-stage companies and small- to mid-sized businesses, GC Solutions offers experienced legal leadership without the cost and commitment of a full-time in-house hire. Companies can engage services on a part-time, retainer or project basis, gaining strategic legal guidance tailored to their stage of growth.

Bawcom brings decades of experience in executive-level in-house roles, including leadership positions at Dell Technologies and as general counsel for fast-growing technology, aerospace and industrial manufacturing.

Under the fractional general counsel model, GC Solutions serves as a true team member, embedding with leadership teams, participating in strategic planning, strengthening internal processes and providing proactive risk management. The result is predictable legal costs, measurable value and stronger governance during critical growth phases.

“Companies preparing for fundraising rounds, acquisitions or expansion need seasoned legal insight at the leadership table, but not every company is ready for a full-time general counsel,” Bawcom said. “The fractional model provides executive-level guidance in a way that’s agile and cost-effective.”

Demand for fractional executive roles has grown as companies face increased regulatory scrutiny, cost pressures and complex transactions. In addition, GC Solutions works with existing legal departments to improve structure and operations. Bawcom also coaches attorneys transitioning from law firms into in-house roles and helps businesses build stronger and more effective internal legal teams.
