Others Help Decide What Work Gets Done. About Fornaro Law Fornaro Law is an Outside General Counsel practice built for business owners who need more than a reactive legal team. We work as embedded advisors — inside the conversation before problems become expensive, not just brought in to clean them up after. The Role This isn't a traditional associate position. We're not hiring people to do the work they're assigned. We're hiring attorneys who want to help decide what work should even be done. At Fornaro Law, you'll own client relationships, think like a business advisor, and move beyond the billable hour treadmill. The goal isn't to complete transactions — it's to help clients make better decisions. If you've ever felt like you're capable of more than your current role allows, you probably are. The OGC model is built for attorneys who think bigger than the assignment in front of them.
