About us

Turning Legal Complexity

into Business Clarity

Legal Alchemy was founded for growth-minded companies that need to cut through legal complexity and gain business clarity to scale with confidence. With more than two decades as a practicing attorney—including service as General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer, and Chief Legal & People Officer—founder Monica Thomas brings the perspective of an embedded, fractional in-house leader. She helps executives keep legal strategy connected to business priorities, ensures outside counsel is used efficiently, and builds governance frameworks that unlock opportunity. Her approach is strategic and business-first: aligning legal with sales, operations, and leadership so decisions are faster, risks are managed, and growth is sustainable. Through subscription partnerships, fixed-fee projects, and interim leadership support, Legal Alchemy makes legal a catalyst for enterprise value—not a barrier.
