A law site reviewing legal tech terms. These platforms sell "legal services" but their terms ensure they're not actually practicing law. When their template LLC operating agreement doesn't fit your situation, they're not liable. When their AI gives bad advice, that's on you. We wrote the legal documents analyzing their legal documents. It's lawyers all the way down.
Every platform explicitly states they're not providing legal advice. This means no malpractice protection if their templates or guidance fail you.
One-size-fits-all documents may not address your specific situation. Complex business structures or unique circumstances aren't covered.
"Annual compliance" and "registered agent" services auto-renew indefinitely. Cancellation often requires navigating complex processes.
Without an attorney-client relationship, your communications aren't privileged. Anything you share could potentially be disclosed.
Stopping registered agent service can leave your business non-compliant. Platforms make it difficult to transfer this service elsewhere.

If you've been burned by template documents, subscription traps, or need real attorney guidance, we can help you understand your options.
