Ask HN; What are some great start-up resource for legal docs?

Posted by Igor_Bratnikov on Thursday January 19, 2012 @01:23PM
from the ask-hn dept.

What are some resources for more legal minded/those with a legal education start-up members to refer to for advice or samples when drafting documents, especially including co-founders agreement/articles of formation and partnership agreements?

Westlaw and lexis are in play if there are references you suggest there too.

Thanks!

http://www.docracy.com/ is like github for legal documents.

There are some founders' agreements and LLC operating agreement that might be what you are looking for.

For startup forms, you should probably start here:

For court filings take a look at PlainSite:
