Why I made the Legal Essentials Kit
I’m John Gerber, corporate attorney and founder of Unlawyer.
I like to say that I’ve been doing this for a million years. That’s so I don’t have to admit that it’s actually been 30+.
In my years of legal practice, first with big firms and since as a solo myself, I help startup companies and small businesses get organized and grow.
Which means I provide general counsel advice on all kinds of business opportunities and problems. I structure all kinds of business relationships. And I draft and review a lot of contracts.
It’s that experience that I’ve distilled into the Legal Essentials Kit.
The LLC Formation Guide describes the questions I ask and the detailed steps I take when forming a new company. And importantly, it includes tips and hazards I’ve learned from doing it hundreds of times.
The Business Protection Checklist identifies the same risks and includes the same advice I give my legal practice clients to deal with those concerns.
The Operating Agreement, Client Services Agreement and other contracts are selected based on client needs I see all the time and reflect the terms of hundreds of custom versions I’ve prepared.
My goal is to provide the right guidance so you have clarity about the process, don’t feel
stuck or overwhelmed, and are confident in your decisions and the results.
With the Legal Essentials Kit as support, you can, and should, do this yourself.

Why is setting up a business legally so F***ING confusing?
If you're starting a new business, freelancing, or side hustling, you know you need to get your business set up legally. But...
"One wrong step could cost me thousands"
I can't afford costly legal mistakes and I don't even know how to start this process.
"I don't even know how to start"
Every source says something different, and I have so many questions. One mistake could cost me my business.
"Other services tried to charge me for stuff I didn't even understand."
$0 + state fees became $800 in hidden charges and who knows if it's done right or if I have everything I need.
"I just want to know it's done right"
I didn't sign up to be a legal expert. I just need to know nothing gets missed.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if I need an LLC right now?
If you're earning money from clients or customers—even part-time—you need legal protection. Operating without an LLC means your personal assets (bank account, house, car) are at risk if something goes wrong. Plus, many clients and banks won't take you seriously without a proper business structure. The sooner you set it up, the sooner you're protected and can focus on growing.
What's the difference between DIY, DIY Plus, and Premium?
DIY: You get step-by-step guides and templates to file everything yourself. Perfect if you're confident handling forms on your own.
DIY Plus: Everything in DIY, PLUS you get to ask a lawyer any and every question you might have in a 30-minute Q&A call. AND priority email support! This is our most popular package—you do the work with expert oversight.
Premium: Fully done-for-you. We handle all paperwork, filing, and setup. You just approve and we take care of everything.
How long does this take?
DIY and DIY Plus depend on how quickly you complete your paperwork. Premium is handled entirely by our team, so you just approve and we file. State processing times vary (some are same-day, others take 1-2 weeks), but we'll tell you exactly what to expect for your state.
Do you work with all 50 states?
Yes. Every state has different requirements, and our system is built to handle all of them. When you start, you'll tell us which state you're forming in, and we'll provide state-specific instructions, forms, and filing guidance. No matter where you are, we've got you covered.
How do I know something won't get messed up?
That's exactly why we built Unlawyer. With DIY Plus and Premium, your questions are answered by a licensed attorney. Even with our DIY package, you get clear step-by-step instructions designed to prevent common errors. And if you have questions, our team is here to help via email or call.
What happens after my LLC is formed?
Once your LLC is officially filed with the state, you'll receive your formation documents and can open a business bank account, sign contracts, and start operating legally.
