Fractional Counsel for Tech and SaaS Businesses
Eliga provides embedded legal support inside technology and SaaS businesses, not outside them. Most legal problems do not arise because the law is unclear. They arise because legal is engaged after commercial decisions are already moving. We work with businesses before decisions are locked and when things are already complex, helping teams understand where legal belongs so risk is handled earlier, outcomes are clearer, and growth does not stall later.
How We Support Tech and SaaS Businesses
Support inside a growing tech or SaaS business is rarely linear. It often appears when contracts slow sales, when product changes affect the market, or when partnerships introduce unexpected risk. By the time something feels like a legal issue, the commercial decision has usually already been made.
Eliga works in those moments. Not through isolated tasks, but through ongoing support across the areas where growing tech and SaaS businesses most often need clarity, judgment, and structure. The focus is on keeping decisions aligned with how the business operates as complexity increases.
Sometimes decisions are still flexible. Sometimes they are already agreed. Sometimes it is unclear where to start. The timing changes the work, not the willingness to help. Eliga applies judgment inside the business so decisions can move forward, pause when needed, and stabilise situations that have escalated.
This is how Eliga supports Tech and SaaS businesses as decisions unfold from the inside.
How Our Fractional Counsel Model Works
Growing tech and SaaS businesses often need senior legal judgment well before a full time hire makes sense. Decisions are moving, revenue is forming, and structure is still catching up.
Eliga operates inside the business at this stage. Fractional Counsel provides ongoing embedded support so decisions are shaped in real time, not reviewed after momentum has already carried them forward.
This model mirrors in house judgment without fixed cost, long term commitment, or operational drag as complexity increases.
In-House Counsel Support
Technology businesses face complex commercial decisions long before a permanent internal role is practical. Legal risk does not wait for headcount to catch up.
Eliga provides early access to senior in house level judgment, embedded into decision making as the business grows, without locking you into unnecessary overhead.
Support adapts as needs evolve, staying close to how the business actually operates.
Commercial Contracts That Enable Growth
Contracts shape how growth plays out in practice. Poorly timed or misaligned agreements slow sales, restrict flexibility, and introduce avoidable friction.
Eliga supports the drafting, review, and negotiation of commercial contracts that are practical, scalable, and aligned to how tech and SaaS businesses operate as they grow.
The focus is not paperwork. It is enabling momentum while managing exposure.
Senior Expertise Without Full Time Overhead
Access to senior legal judgment should not require a permanent hire before the business is ready.
Eliga provides experienced counsel typically associated with in house or general counsel roles, without ongoing salary, benefits, or long term obligation.
Support scales from contracts and negotiations to compliance, risk, and strategic input, giving founders consistent judgment as decisions become more consequential.
