What is a Registered Agent?
A registered agent is a hired entity whose job is to act as a liaison between a startup and the local or federal government. These agents work to make sure that companies are aware and fully informed on any legal proceedings or complications that are being brought against them. The necessity of hiring a registered agent depends on the size of the company, since small startups can save money by acting as their own registered agent.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
