Seasoned Fractional General Counsel in Orange, CA 

Navigate legal complexities with practical, business-focused advice from Michael Bassiri. I am an experienced fractional general counsel for growth companies in Orange, CA. I have over 27 years of experience advising operating companies, serving as general counsel for a public company, doing trial work, and handling restructuring matters. I now serve growth-stage, small to mid-market businesses, providing excellent legal leadership without the cost of a full-time executive.  

You Don’t Need Another Law Firm

Most companies rely on outside law firms that react to problems as they arise. But growing companies often need something different—experienced legal leadership that understands the business and works alongside management. As a fractional general counsel, I work directly with CEOs and leadership teams to help manage risk, structure agreements, address disputes, and support strategic decisions before legal issues become expensive.
