Outside General Counsel

Strategic Legal Partnership for Growing Companies

At Fourscore, we serve as outside general counsel to both “innovative” businesses making a difference in their field and “boring” businesses that do
the honorable work of providing for families and communities. 

Whether you're navigating new rounds of funding, entering complex
partnerships, or simply tired of reinventing the wheel with every legal issue, our team provides practical, business-minded legal support that grows with you.

What We Do

As your Outside General Counsel, we embed ourselves in your business. We understand your goals, priorities, and challenges so we can offer legal guidance that’s not just accurate, but strategic. Our clients rely on us for:

  • Contract Review & Negotiation
    From vendor agreements to customer contracts and licensing deals, we ensure your documents are fair, enforceable, and aligned with your risk tolerance.

  • Corporate Governance & Compliance
    We help you stay buttoned up on board matters, cap table updates, resolutions, and legal formalities that protect your business and investors.

  • Cybersecurity & Data Privacy
    From data breach response plans to privacy policies and vendor due diligence, we help you navigate evolving regulations and protect what matters - your data, your customers, and your reputation.

  • Employment & Contractor Issues
    Drafting offer letters, advising on terminations, navigating classification risks—we help you build and protect your team the right way.

  • Intellectual Property Strategy
    Not just registrations—we advise on ownership structures, IP assignments, and strategic licensing that fit your business model.

  • Fundraising & Investment Support
    Whether you're closing a seed round or prepping for a Series A, we guide you through SAFEs, convertible notes, equity rounds, and investor relations.

  • Risk Mitigation & Dispute Avoidance
    Think of us as your early-warning system. We flag issues before they become problems. And if things go sideways, we help you respond with clarity and control.
