The internet has democratized the process of starting a business based on your expertise. Creating a business used to mean renting office space, create on-premises tech infrastructure, and thousand other tasks. Starting a business used to be limited to people who had tens of thousands of dollars to spend.
Not anymore. With a laptop, an internet connection, and some expertise, you can start a business selling your services, coaching, or a course. Starting a business is now within reach of everyone, and most professional industries have pivoted to deliver services online to make this possible. Unfortunately, the legal industry has not kept up. It's shocking how the legal industry has resisted moving online:
Financial Services
70%
Delivered Online
Health Services
45%
Delivered Online
Legal Services
3%
Delivered Online
The legal industry's resistance to automation and general refusal to deliver services online is a major hurdle for small business. Unless you can afford to spend $5k or more for your basic contracts, good luck working with a lawyer. Don't believe us? Here's an email we got back in the days where we were selling legal templates:
For most online business owners, hiring a lawyer just isn't realistic. Fortunately, a number of online solutions have emerged to fill the gap. Unfortunately, those solutions haven't solved the problem...
While the online legal shops are a good start, they aren't the answer. Navigating through those online legal shops feels like diving into a maze without a map. The national brands aim to serve everyone, so they bombard you with options, leaving you drowning in legal jargon and endless options. It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack, only to end up more lost than when you started. Even worse, those national brands don't even have templates designed for YOUR business. Good luck finding a coaching agreement or terms for your group program on those sites!
The template shops designed for knowledge businesses can help you avoid the overwhelm, but at what cost? Getting the templates you need from those shops can cost as much as hiring a lawyer... and you're left to figure out how to customize the templates for your business.
Realize there are legal issues, but feel like you don't now what you don't know about the legal stuff.
Consider hiring a lawyer... realize you don't have $5k.
Try a big online legal provider, end up overwhelmed and realize they don't have the agreements you need.
Try to learn legal stuff from online content, but stay confused because it's general and not custom to you.
Find a legal template shop and take a stab at what you think you need to get in writing.
Spend hours watching videos or reading PDFs so you can customize the templates.
Cross your fingers, hoping you've done it right.
Realize there are legal issues, but feel like you don't now what you don't know about the legal stuff.

Their willingness to accept and act upon feedback has certainly earned my trust, and I look forward to everything that is yet to come.”

Plainly Legal™ is a SaaS (software as a service) for certain types of online businesses. Designed by Bobby Klinck, Harvard-trained lawyer with over 20 years of experience, it is a solution that allows small businesses access to quality legal guidance and tools in a user-friendly and affordable way.
It helps you understand the legal tasks you face and allows you to generate legal documents (contracts, terms & conditions, policies, etc.) for their online business.
Plainly Legal™ is designed for US-based businesses that sell information products, coaching, or their services. If you are building a business based on your knowledge and expertise, the software is for you.
No, we are not a law firm. Plainly Legal™ is a legal automation tool that is designed to help online business owners get their legal protection in place quickly, easily, and affordably. The legal logic built into the software and language used in the agreements you generate was created by an experienced lawyer, but you will not get access to a lawyer as part of your subscription.
We take data privacy and protection very seriously. We tightly control who has access to the backend databases to only a few trusted Plainly Legal™ team members and developers, all of whom have signed confidentiality agreements and are bound by law to protect private information.
Plainly Legal™ keeps consumer data safe by encrypting all transmitted website data using a modern, industry standard protocol called TLS (Transport Layer Security), a step above the previously common SSL protocol. This means that regardless of what type of connection is used to access the Plainly Legal™ app, the data shared with the app is still encrypted for optimal security.
Plainly Legal™ uses a modern tech stack, using programming languages that are in use by some of the largest tech companies in the world. These programming languages are far more up-to-date than applications written in older languages, resulting in better security against hackers.
Databases and their client communications are encrypted throughout the data server platform both in transit and at rest, meaning that your data is useless and scrambled to anyone who accesses it in an attack against our hosting servers.
As an added layer of security, we split your data and store it in different databases and locations. In the unlikely event that someone were to gain unauthorized access, they would need to hack multiple encrypted data storage systems to associate the different sets of data.
In addition, we NEVER sell user information to third parties. For more information on how we protect your privacy and details about our technology partners, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
