A community for lawyers doing law differently
What is Between Counsel?
Between Counsel is a community for fractional lawyers in Australia. We bring together independent, portfolio, and part-time lawyers who've stepped outside the traditional firm or in-house model — and we give them a place to belong, share, and grow together.
What is a Betweener / fractional lawyer?
A Betweener is a fractional lawyer — someone who works with businesses flexibly, on a part-time, project, or retainer basis. They bring in-house depth without the full-time cost, and private-practice quality without the firm overhead. It's law on your own terms.
The two layers
Everything we do lives across two stages — what the world sees, and what holds us together behind the scenes.
Front Stage
Advocacy & awarenessOn our LinkedIn company page we raise the profile of fractional lawyering in public — championing the model, educating businesses, and drawing people into the community. It's how we show the world what Betweeners can do.

Community & connectionOur WhatsApp community is where the real connection happens — members chat day to day, support each other, swap tools, and build the relationships that make the fractional path sustainable. The LinkedIn group keeps everyone in the loop on events, updates, and resources.
Our community values
Community first
People over hierarchy. We show up for each other generously and without ego.
Proud of the path
Fractional isn't a fallback. It's a deliberate, valid, and brilliant way to practise law.
Honest & open
A safe place to ask the real questions — about money, clients, doubts, and wins.
