Murjis fills the legal, compliance and governance roles growing companies cannot yet justify hiring, and the gaps larger organizations cannot leave open: General Counsel, Privacy Officer, Compliance Officer, Corporate Secretary and Independent Director. Flat monthly fees and a named executive in the role rather than an advisor on call, at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire. Every fractional mandate runs on the Murjis Fractional Platform, which keeps your Legal Health Check, playbook, templates and records working between counsel days.
Answer a few questions about your company. We reply within one business day, and a short call tells us both whether we are the right fit.
Your Fractional Executive takes the role and your portal opens. Within 30 days they present your Legal Health Check and a dated plan to act on it.
Book time on your executive's calendar, send work in and see what is done and what is next. Each month you review the mandate together.
COMPANIES WE HAVE WORKED WITH
Murjis is a fractional legal practice with its own platform. Every fractional mandate has two parts. Your Fractional Executive brings the judgment: the advice, the calls and the appointments that carry your company's name. The Murjis Fractional Platform keeps that judgment working between counsel days, so the positions they set, the documents they build and the risks they find stay in front of you, not in an inbox.
A risk-ranked review of your company's legal and compliance stature from records and contracts to IP, privacy and financing, with a report card style scorecard and gap analysis with suggestions and a mandate plan for the year. Done again every twelve months.
Decide where your company stands on the terms that come up in every deal, such as liability caps, indemnities and payment terms: what we open with, what we will agree to and the line we do not cross without asking you. Set for your business and risk appetite, and every contract we review is measured against it.
Customized templated agreements, policies and documents specifically tailored for your business and prioritized to cover gaps identified in your Legal Health Check. Your Fractional Executive reviews each one before it is published to your client portal.
Documents uploaded to the portal are automatically analyzed, categorized and filed by kind. Your corporate minute book is automatically updated and is always ready to assemble from what is on file whether a financing or an audit requires it.
Open decisions, what we need from you, deadlines ahead and what is done, on one page that updates as work happens. Book counsel days on your executive's calendar and send work in from the same place.
The Murjis Fractional Platform is for clients. Your portal opens once your engagement letter is signed.

I'm Rachel, Murjis's AI assistant. I help by reading and categorizing your records, filing what you send, customizing templates to your business and preparing first drafts for your executive, including your Legal Health Check. Your executive reviews what I prepare, and counsel days go to real work: strategy and leadership.
We add fractional executives selectively. If you are senior in your field and interested in a named appointment inside a growing organization, we would like to hear from you.
It never replaces their judgment. Your Murjis legal team leads every mandate, reviews the work and remains professionally responsible for it.
Your information is used only to provide your legal services. It is never sold, and it is never used to train an AI model.
We use controlled, purpose-specific systems designed to protect confidential client information and keep each client’s data separate.
You can access your information, request corrections, export available portal data and request deletion of eligible working data.
Call it fractional counsel, a Fractional GC or outsourced general counsel; the role is the same. The flagship engagement: your acting general counsel, embedded in the business: contracts drafted, reviewed and negotiated against a playbook built for you; employment matters done correctly; financings and M&A supported through closing; disputes managed before they become litigation; risk called plainly, the way an in-house counsel calls it.
Canadian privacy law requires an individual accountable for your compliance. We take the appointment: CIPP/C-certified counsel named as your Privacy Officer, owning PIPEDA and provincial compliance (including Quebec Law 25), impact assessments, breach response and the regulator.
STATUTORY APPOINTMENT · CIPP/CA designated compliance officer with a live program behind them: regulatory mapping, AML and FINTRAC programs for money services and fintech businesses, CASL and marketing compliance, sanctions screening, training, monitoring and board reporting on a set cadence.
DESIGNATED OFFICER · PROGRAM + REPORTINGThe record-keeping role that determines whether your next financing's diligence takes days or months. Board and shareholder meeting cycles run properly, resolutions and minutes drafted and filed, minute books kept current, annual filings made on time and the cap table kept clean.
BOARD CYCLE · MINUTE BOOK · FILINGSA board role filled by counsel with operating governance experience: for boards adding independents, subsidiaries needing qualified local directors, and companies that want legal and privacy fluency in the room. Audit and governance committee capacity is available.
BOARD APPOINTMENT · SUBJECT TO INDEPENDENCE REVIEWFractional mandates are shaped to the company, not to a practice area or an org chart. If your gap sits between these roles, combines several of them, or looks like something else entirely (deal counsel for a single financing, a governance lead for a subsidiary, an executive to stand up a compliance function from zero), we scope it, price it flat and fill it.
The first 30 days, every engagement.
Corporate records, key contracts, employment documents, privacy and compliance posture reviewed and risk-ranked.
Contract positions, a compliance calendar and your privacy program set up in your portal, so nothing runs on memory.
The highest-risk gaps closed first, then a rolling quarterly plan for everything else, reviewed with you each month.
Every mandate begins with a review of your records, contracts, people, IP, privacy, compliance and financing. You receive a risk-ranked scorecard and a dated plan for closing the gaps.
Murjis templates customized to your business, plus a playbook for recurring terms: what we open with, what we will agree to and the line we do not cross. Every review is measured against it.
Your executive works in your email, Slack or Teams and shared drive, and your portal keeps the record in one place. Nothing is sent out to a law firm, because there is no "out."
Financings, acquisitions, dispositions and reorganizations are led to closing under defined-scope mandates priced on the deal, not the day. Mandate clients receive priority scheduling. Companies may also engage Murjis for a single transaction; most stay for a role.
