See what top startup attorneys have to say about Clerky.

Clerky is the online service most often recommended by startup attorneys, because they know Clerky provides founders with the best chance of getting the paperwork done correctly.

Clerky is the highest quality online solution for standard company documentation I've seen, especially for startups that are looking to get set up in a way that is ready for financing. David Goldenberg Founding Partner at VLP Law Group, LLP

There are a lot of online services out there that can quickly create legal documents, but Clerky stands out for combining that ease-of-use with a focus on helping startups get everything done the right way. From what we've seen with our clients who have come to SLS post-formation, there's no other online service that is as effective at helping founders avoid problems with due diligence. Andre Gharakhanian Partner at Silicon Legal Strategy

Everyone knows about Clerky for formation already, but their fundraising and hiring products are equally impressive. Some other services claim to have those too, but they end up causing legal problems because the quality isn't there. Building these products correctly requires a skill set that is unique to Clerky. John Bautista Partner, Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP John is an advisor to Clerky

We keep close tabs on the services our clients use, and Clerky is uniquely focused on making sure that things are done correctly — that’s really important for avoiding expensive problems down the line. Lou Soto Partner, Gunderson Dettmer Stough Villeneuve Franklin & Hachigian, LLP

The difference between clients who arrive to us having used a shitty lawyer v. those who used Clerky is night and day. Well done @darbyw and @chrisfield5. Public service. José Ancer Partner + CTO, Optimal Counsel
