LegalForce RAPC Worldwide, P.C. et al v. LegalZoom.Com, Inc. et al
An IP attorney has filed suit against LegalZoom and several state bars alleging that legal tech company violates unauthorized practice of law rules and that the state bars turn a blind eye to these violations. The plaintiff attorney claims that LegalZoom is effectively practicing law but disclaiming status as a law firm and thus avoiding the regulatory costs associated with being one.
