Meet Frank.

A supplier contract is up for renewal, and the terms aren't great. A new hire wants changes to their agreement before they'll sign. A customer sends over a data processing agreement and wants it signed off this week.

None of these matters are a legal crisis, but all of them need a real answer (and soon).

So where do you get the answers?

A traditional law firm can handle all of it. The problem is that these ongoing questions rarely feel big enough to justify the cost. So companies start weighing carefully which issues are actually worth taking further.

A template or an AI tool can give you a quick starting point. But when the business is about to enter an agreement or take on a real obligation, it's hard to base that decision on something "probably being fine."

That leaves many growing companies with one of two options: pay for more legal firepower than the case actually calls for, or try to handle it themselves and hope it holds up.

We thought there had to be a better way.

Frank was founded by people who've sat on both sides of the table. The team has built and grown advisory firms like Amby, and founded and scaled the law firm Molteberg Nilsen.

Through that work, we saw that the problem wasn't really with the lawyers. It was in how legal services have traditionally been delivered.

Billing by the hour raises the bar for even asking a question. It's hard to know what a case will end up costing, or how the time is actually spent. The model is largely built for large companies with their own legal departments, established procurement processes, and budgets designed around external legal counsel.

Companies without those resources have had to either adapt to that model or go without ongoing legal support.

We didn't think that was good enough. So we built Frank.

So what is Frank, exactly?

Frank is an embedded legal partner for growing Norwegian companies. We cover employment law, contract law, privacy and compliance, and corporate law. In short, the legal questions that come up as a natural part of running a business, week in and week out.

Frank isn't meant to be an outside firm you only call once a problem has already grown out of hand. We work closely with the business, get to know the organization and how it operates, and give advice grounded in the actual context those decisions get made in.

The conversation happens in the tools you already use, and we collaborate on a subscription, so you get ongoing legal access without a surprise invoice every time a question comes up.

In practice, Frank works as an external legal function for companies that don't need, or don't want to build, a legal department of their own. You get experienced legal advisors who know your business and can give you a straight answer without having to be briefed from scratch every time, backed by technology that keeps things moving fast without cutting corners.

Who is this for?

As a founder or CEO, you're constantly making calls on legal questions. Employees, customers, suppliers, investments, internal processes, it comes from every direction.

The need comes up often, but no single case feels big enough on its own to justify picking up the phone to a traditional law firm.

Frank is built for companies that want fast access to good legal judgment, without a high barrier to entry or unpredictable costs.

If you're legal counsel, an HR lead, or part of the leadership team, keeping up with everything that lands across the organization can be a lot to carry. There's often more work than one person can realistically stay on top of, without quite enough grounds to grow the internal legal team.

Frank can take ownership of defined areas, handle the ongoing questions, and take weight off the internal team wherever capacity is tightest. The goal is to reduce the workload, not add another process to manage.

The role of technology

Our advisors pair legal experience with modern technology and AI. That means working faster, structuring information better, and spending time where it actually counts: on the judgment calls that need real legal expertise.

The technology doesn't replace the advisor. It gives the advisor better tools. That's how we keep pace with the businesses we work with, while every piece of advice is still reviewed and signed off by a person.

Technology also lets us cut out unnecessary time and keep costs at a level that makes ongoing legal support accessible to more companies.

And this isn't only about efficiency. It's also about expectations changing.

Growing companies make important decisions every day. They move fast, run on modern systems, and expect the same from the people they work with. They need advisors who are reachable, who understand the business, and who give clear answers. And they expect to know exactly what they're paying for.

Frank is built for that way of working.

No surprise invoices. No unnecessarily complicated language. No distance between the business and the advisor.

Just legal advice when you need it, delivered the way growing companies actually work, at a price that fits.
