New legal service is startup friendly

When it comes to innovation, the legal profession is not necessarily the first industry that comes to mind.   However, Hal Ostrow believes not only is there an opportunity for innovation, but his approach to legal services can be a difference maker for entrepreneurs and startups as they try to bring new products and services to market. Ostrow (Ostrow Law Firm PLC) recently announced the launch of MIStartupLawyer.com a provider of subscription-based services for startups and small businesses.. According to Ostrow many entrepreneurs and startups turn to services like LegalZoom, favoring their flat fees over a retainer with a traditional law firm. However what those types of services don’t offer is any longterm relationship.  Ostrow indicates that his service provides not only basic legal features needed for startups (articles of incorporations, bylaws, contracts, etc.) but most importantly he becomes “a member of clients team and can focus on what you are trying to do”. Beyond the subscription clients have signed up for they also have “unlimited access” to his services for simple questions that many times goes unanswered or unasked because the client does not want the expense associated with traditional firms or they don’t trust someone, who hasn’t been involved from the beginning to understand their specific situation.
