Last accessed 17 April 2009〕 In addition to providing an array of online legal documents like wills and living trusts, LegalZoom offers LLC, incorporation, trademark and registered agent services.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.northwestregisteredagent.com/registered-agent-marketshare.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2346625,00.asp )〕 == History == LegalZoom began offering legal service products to the public on March 12, 2001.〔http://www.llrx.com/buzz/buzz48.htm〕 Lee, Hartman, and Liu felt that since they were unknowns, they needed to attach someone to the company that people trusted. They came up with a list of potential candidates and decided on Robert Shapiro. Lee got Shapiro's phone number and called him at 8:30pm believing he would be leaving a voice mail, but Shapiro personally answered the phone and after discussion, liked the concept. In September 2012 it was announced that LegalZoom had formed a partnership with the United Kingdom-based legal services provider QualitySolicitors, as part of which the companies will jointly offer online legal services in the United Kingdom including company formations and divorce documents. In 2013 LegalZoom purchased a 206,000-square-foot building at 9900 Spectrum Drive in the Davis Springs Spectrum Business Park in Austin, Texas for a reported $21 million.〔http://www.bizjournals.com/austin/print-edition/2013/03/08/legalzoom-pays-21m-for-building.html?page=all〕The Austin office acts as one of their headquarters and in July of 2014 they installed a 260kW solar electric system.〔http://www.meridiansolar.com/legalzoom-installs-260kw-of-rooftop-solar-on-austin-texas-office/〕 On January 6, 2014 European private capital firm Permira announced its intent to acquire $200 million in the outstanding equity of LegalZoom and become its largest shareholder pending regulatory approval. On February 14, 2014 Permira announced that the deal was complete.〔http://www.socaltech.com/permira_completes____m_legalzoom_buy/s-0053598.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「LegalZoom」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
