Navigating the Complex World of Legal Department Support
We work with growing and PE-backed companies where legal risk is created in everyday business decisions — not just contracts.
GCSS embeds General Counsel-level legal judgment directly into how organizations operate, so compliance, governance, and risk management are built into decision-making rather than handled after the fact.
Founded by Nadine Jones, a former General Counsel and compliance executive, GCSS partners with leadership to translate legal standards into practical, defensible ways of working that hold up as the business scales
Demonstrated Success
Regulatory Foresight That Anticipated Financial Impact Before Data
Confirmation
Demonstrated foresight in identifying the true financial impact of tariffs before official data confirmed it.
While public discussion initially framed the tariffs as costs borne by foreign exporters, I recognized early that U.S. importers would absorb the majority of the financial burden, allowing businesses to better anticipate exposure and plan accordingly.
Litigation & Claims Visibility That Reduced Costs by $1M+
Legal claims, demand letters, litigation matters, and workers’ compensation cases were dispersed across emails, shared drives, and individual folders, leaving leadership with no clear visibility into trends, cost drivers, or recurring risk. Recognizing that meaningful risk management required a centralized, structured view of this information, I immediately began securing the operational support and financial approval needed to build a system that could translate fragmented case data into actionable insight.
Antitrust Compliance Governance That Eliminated Hidden Exposure
Trade association participation was a high antitrust risk but was decentralized across business
units, often with duplicate memberships, unclear business justifications for participation,
inconsistent antitrust training among participants, and no centralized oversight — creating
significant regulatory exposure.
Community Policing Assessment and Community Tool
Police agencies lacked practical tools to assess operational readiness and understand community concerns in a consistent, measurable way. Leadership often relied on anecdotal feedback rather than clear insight, which led to reacting to crises after trust had already eroded instead of strengthening systems proactively.
DEI Risk Assessment to Prevent Reactive Crisis Management
President Trump’s January 2025 executive order made it clear that diversity, equity, and
inclusion programs in schools, nonprofits, and corporations, would be subjected to federal
scrutiny. Organizations lacked structured methods to assess their DEI programs against
executive order criteria.

Why Work with GC Support Services?
Fractional GC-Level Services
Whether supporting your team through peak demand or stepping in so senior counsel can truly disconnect, GCSS ensures seamless integration, sound judgment, and the high-caliber legal management you expect from an in-house leader.
GC or Senior Legal Member Onboarding
This service also supports onboarding new General Counsel or senior legal leaders, helping them ramp up efficiently and maintain continuity from day one.
Project Planning & Implementation
You’ve got the vision for M&A, contract workflows, and HR processes—but not the time to build the playbooks. I’ll help you plan, document, and implement with clarity and precision.
Bespoke Regulatory Alerts
You don’t have time to track every regulatory change, and you have even less time to adjust existing policy and practices to reflect these changes. I can help you identify outdated content and then revamp it to ensure compliance, boost engagement, and align with your company’s culture.

Executive-Level Legal Coverage Without the Disruption
As a former General Counsel of a multibillion dollar U.S. company, I support PE portfolio companies and growing startups that have reached the point where legal decisions are shaping the business, but a full time in house legal team does not yet make sense.
These organizations move fast and make high-impact decisions every day, often relying heavily on outside counsel or informal processes to manage legal issues as they arise.
I provide fractional General Counsel support that brings experienced legal judgment directly into the business. Instead of reacting one issue at a time, I work closely with leadership to guide decisions in real time, strengthen how risk is managed, and build practical safeguards that support growth.
My approach is straightforward and pragmatic. I focus on clear guidance and business feasible solutions, not lengthy memos or academic analysis.
For early stage companies, I offer tailored fractional support that helps reduce outside counsel costs, puts smart legal structure in place early, and allows founders to build responsibly without slowing momentum.
