LegalZoom
DIY incorporation service
LegalZoom is an online legal technology company that provides do-it-yourself legal documents and services—wills, LLCs, trademarks, incorporations—at lower cost than traditional attorneys.
The name combines legal with the sense of speed suggested by zoom: I formed my LLC through LegalZoom.
Founded in 2001, it represents the broader trend of automating routine legal work.
