The legal work founders can do themselves — and the parts they shouldn't

Attorney-reviewed guides to forming an entity, signing contracts that get you paid, protecting a brand and handling personal data — with a compliance calendar so nothing lapses.

Founders overpay for legal work in two ways: hiring a firm for filings a competent adult can do, and doing everything themselves right up to the moment it matters.

ClauseCraft draws that line explicitly. Forming a single-member LLC in most states is administrative. Negotiating an enterprise MSA with uncapped indemnities is not. We tell you which is which, then give you the material to handle the first category and to brief a lawyer efficiently on the second.

We are not a law firm, we do not take your matter, and we say so on every page. What we do is make the first hour with an attorney productive instead of educational.

ClauseCraft publishes legal information, not legal advice, and reading it creates no attorney-client relationship. Law varies by state and country and changes often. Consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction before acting.
