Its primary goal was to provide quality legal assistance to all those in need. The company has come a long way since its founding, earning recognition as one of the biggest registries of trademarks and emerging as the preeminent legal brand in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has been a journey from DIY software to a comprehensive small business. The company&#8217;s functions include business registration services and legal advice on various practice areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The workforce has expanded to over a thousand employees, with headquarters in Glendale and Austin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is pertinent to add that Los Angeles is the founders&#8217; hometown. At the time of their company&#8217;s inception, Los Angeles was a fledgling tech-centered community. Subsequently, the community here has expanded to encompass numerous established businesses and startups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The founders of LegalZoom revealed in an interview that they were &#8216;excited to have been at the forefront of that booming transformation&#8217;.
