Re:Ask HN: Does your lawyer attend your Board meetings? by vicaya on Sunday January 10, 2010 @02:36AM (#1042803)
This is a common practice for corporations, where you need to keep the meeting minutes as part of legal requirements of being a corp (c or s). You (as a Secretary of the corporation) can do it yourself or you can let them do it for you for free. Most people would choose latter.

I would say it is common practice for large corporations but is it really that way for small startups? That hasn't been my experience; generally there aren't any attorneys at a small startup's board meeting unless the attorney is a member of the board.
