Ep 039: An Exclusive Look at the New LegalZoom-backed Project to Develop Better Contracts for Small Businesses

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This week on LawNext, we get to reveal a project that could change the face of contracting for small businesses worldwide. Pulse -- backed by</span> <a href= "https://www.legalzoom.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">LegalZoom</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">-- is a new initiative to deliver better contracts to small businesses. And to help develop it, Pulse has hired widely known contract-drafting specialist</span> <a href= "https://www.adamsdrafting.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Ken Adams</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">, author of the blog</span> <a href= "https://www.adamsdrafting.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Adams on Contract Drafting</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.  </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On this episode of LawNext, Adams and</span> <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/chasramp"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Chas Rampenthal</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">, LegalZoom’s general counsel, join host Bob Ambrogi to provide details on Adams’ new role as head of contracts and the system they are building to give small businesses a better contracting experience -- one that is driven more by expertise than by technology alone.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This episode gets kind of meta for us here at LawNext. Rampenthal was our guest for a show last August. After hearing the episode, Adams reached out to Ambrogi to ask if he would make an introduction to Rampenthal. Ambrogi did, and that led eventually to Adams’ hiring and the launch of this new project.</span></p> <p><strong>NEW:</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We are now on Patreon!
