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.
However, it has found space to grow its operations nonetheless, partially due to the rise in interest in digital solutions. An IPO in 2021 also enabled LegalZoom's growth, though in 2024 a class action is underway to investigate the company's significantly lowered share prices.
