Our take
LegalZoom is an online legal technology service that can help people create their own legal documents. It believes legal advice and services should be clear, easy-to-understand, and affordable, and provides services to help people make a will, start a business, lodge a trademark application, and more.
LegalZoom has helped millions of people who otherwise could not hire a lawyer with its extensive range of legal solutions. It competes with a handful of other companies, such as IncFile and Rocket Lawyer, that also provide online legal technology.
Despite operating in a competitive market, LegalZoom has continued to expand, helped in part by growing demand for digital legal solutions, Its 2021 IPO provided further momentum, allowing it to scale its operations and invest in new growth opportunities.
Most notably, the company has now been named the provider of 'legal help' for Perplexity - a partnership that could potentially reshape how consumers and small businesses discover and engage with legal services, positioning legal support as something more accessible.
