Legal River Archive

Back in the mid-90′s, when one needed to create a privacy policy or terms of service document, they would head over to Yahoo, grab the needed document and do a replace all for Yahoo with the name of their company. It was fun to do searches and find companies that didn’t replace all the Yahoo notations.

Last month, attorneys-at-law firm General Counsel developed two tools to help entrepreneurs. The tools are part of the Legal River legal marketplace. Legal River helps connect businesses with legal needs with attorneys who can provide the needed services. The attorneys bid for the project just like other bidding services. Legal River is based in Washington D.C.

The Legal River tools include a privacy policy generator and a terms of service generator.  It’s interesting to see how much of these documents is just boilerplate text. Naturally you should probably have an attorney review the documents before making them live on your website.

I think both of these generators are great for helping Legal River get visibility. Legal River also asks for your email address when you submit either form which will help Legal River get the word out when they launch additional tools and services.

Legal River was part of the Launchbox Digital incubator which is similar to the popular Y-Combinator startup incubator in Silicon Valley.
