FRACTIONAL GENERAL COUNSEL FOR REGULATED STARTUPS

Your product is regulated.
Your legal function should be too.

I've built legal infrastructure from scratch at fintech and healthtech companies, including as GC at Lively, a benefits SaaS at the intersection of financial services and healthcare. Privacy programs, AI governance, compliance infrastructure, and commercial agreements. Built for founders who are ready to be ready.

At some point — first hire, first enterprise customer, Series A diligence — someone is going to ask for something you don't have.

Fourth Rock Counsel builds that infrastructure before the ask comes.

Generalist Fractional GCs

  • Can't handle regulatory complexity
  • Lack operational experience
  • One-size-fits-all approach

BigLaw On-Demand

  • $1,000+/hour rates
  • Don't understand startup velocity
  • Overkill for most needs

Fourth Rock Counsel

  • Regulated industry expertise, built in-house
  • Privacy, AI governance, and compliance
  • Flexible engagement, predictable pricing

Serving regulated startups across fintech, healthtech, insurtech, and benefits — from pre-launch through Series C.

"Jordan's in-house legal and compliance expertise, built at Zenefits and Lively, is a key strategic advantage for us. Strongly recommended for any growing startup in benefits or digital health."
