Remote Corporate Law Attorney

In-Office Expectations: We expect team members to be in our Raleigh office on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays to support collaboration, deal work, and team connection. Mondays and Fridays are intentionally flexible and may be worked remotely, subject to client needs, deal timelines, and occasional exceptions. Fourscore Business Law is seeking a Corporate Attorney with 4+ years of experience and a broad business law background who enjoys working alongside entrepreneurs and business owners as they start, grow, buy, sell, and transition their businesses. The ideal candidate is energized by the opportunity to work on a variety of corporate, transactional, and strategic matters while building long-term client relationships.

This attorney will work closely with the founder/lead attorney. In addition to providing exceptional legal counsel, this individual will help manage priorities, oversee legal projects, coordinate resources across the team, and take ownership of initiatives that support the firm's continued growth and success.

This role is ideal for an attorney who enjoys both practicing law and managing complex projects. The successful candidate will help coordinate transactions, allocate resources, drive execution, and ensure client matters move efficiently from strategy through closing.

This is an opportunity for an attorney who wants more than a traditional legal role and is excited to help build and scale a growing business law firm.

The ideal candidate is excited to invest in the long-term success of the firm, contribute to its growth, and play a meaningful role in helping both our clients and our team thrive.
