Even attorneys shouldn't spend billable hours on their own formation. Lovie handles your firm entity, EIN, registered agent, and compliance — so you can open your IOLTA account, start accepting clients, and bill for real legal work from day one.
Start Your Law Firm. You know the law. Let Lovie handle the filings.
State bars require specific entity types. Generic formation services get it wrong.
The problem
Generic services file a standard LLC — which many state bars reject for licensed attorneys
Paying another attorney $2,000+ to form your own PLLC feels absurd, but DIY takes hours
Weeks navigating PLLC vs. PC vs. LLP requirements across multiple jurisdictions
Separate subscriptions for registered agent, mail forwarding, and compliance on top of everything else
Missing annual report deadlines while you're in depositions and court appearances
How Lovie solves it
$29/mo — formation, EIN, registered agent, mail, and compliance included
Lovie recommends PLLC, PC, or LLP based on your bar requirements and partnership structure
Same-day filing so you can open your IOLTA account, get malpractice coverage, and start accepting clients
Compliance deadlines tracked automatically across jurisdictions
Entity conversions included — scale from solo PLLC to multi-partner LLP as your practice grows
Lovie handles every step. Formation to compliance. Zero surprises.
For attorneys who know exactly why this matters.
Files the Correct Entity for Your Jurisdiction
Generic services file standard LLCs — which many state bars reject for licensed attorneys. Lovie knows law firms need PLLCs, PCs, or LLPs and files the right type for your state.
Your Time Has a Billing Rate
Every hour spent on your own formation is an hour not billing clients. At $29/mo, Lovie costs less than a single billable hour for most attorneys — and handles everything so you don't have to.
Compliance That Protects Your License
A lapsed entity filing isn't just a fine — for attorneys, it can attract bar scrutiny. Lovie tracks every deadline: annual reports, franchise taxes, registered agent renewals.
You advise clients on entity structure. Your own firm deserves the same care.
The Right Entity, Filed Correctly
PLLC for your state? PC for a multi-attorney firm? LLP for your partnership? Tell Lovie your bar status and practice area. It files the right entity type for your jurisdiction so you can open your IOLTA account and start accepting clients.
Less Than One Billable Hour
$29/mo covers formation, registered agent, mail scanning, and EIN. The alternative — spending your own hours on Secretary of State portals — costs you far more in lost billing time than this subscription ever will.
Personal Asset Separation Starts at the Entity
You advise clients on asset protection. Make sure you have it yourself. A properly formed PLLC or PC separates your personal assets from firm liabilities. Lovie makes sure your entity is built correctly from day one.
Solo Practice to Multi-Partner Firm
Start as a solo PLLC. When you bring on associates or equity partners, Lovie handles the entity restructuring — LLP, multi-member PLLC, or PC. Conversions are included in your plan. No separate fees for your own firm's growth.
Multi-Jurisdiction Formation
Barred in multiple states? Lovie forms your entity and helps you navigate foreign qualification requirements across jurisdictions — whether you practice in New York, file in Delaware, or need registration in a third state.
Compliance a Law Firm Can't Miss
Missing a state filing is embarrassing for any business. For a law firm, it can attract bar scrutiny. Lovie tracks annual reports, franchise taxes, and compliance deadlines automatically — your firm's standing is never in question.
Questions about forming your law firm.
Should my law firm be a PLLC or PC?
It depends on your state's bar requirements. Most states require attorneys to form a Professional LLC (PLLC) or Professional Corporation (PC). PLLCs typically offer more flexibility and pass-through taxation; PCs follow corporate formalities. Lovie walks you through the requirements for your specific jurisdiction.
What about IOLTA trust accounts? Do I need my entity first?
Yes. Your bank requires entity formation documents and an EIN before opening an IOLTA account. Lovie files your entity same-day and handles EIN registration right after — so you can open your trust account and start accepting retainers without delays.
Does Lovie understand bar compliance requirements?
Lovie knows that attorneys in most states must use professional entity types — PLLC, PC, or LLP — rather than a standard LLC. It guides you through the right choice based on your bar status and jurisdiction. For specific bar ethics opinions, check with your state bar association.
What does the $29/mo include for law firms?
Everything: PLLC, PC, or LLC formation filing fees, EIN registration, registered agent service, digital mail scanning, compliance management, and a real-time dashboard. No add-ons. No surprise fees. Cancel anytime.
What about multi-state practice and formation?
If you're barred in multiple states, you may need to register your entity in each jurisdiction where you practice. Lovie handles your initial formation and walks you through foreign qualification requirements. Many attorneys form in one state and register in the others.
Can Lovie structure a multi-partner law firm?
Yes. Lovie guides you through multi-member entity formation, including partner equity, management structure, and operating agreement provisions. For complex arrangements involving detailed profit-sharing or governance, consulting a business attorney alongside Lovie is a good idea.
Is Lovie providing legal advice?
No. Lovie is a technology platform that guides you through company formation. We handle filings, not legal counsel. As an attorney, you already understand that distinction — Lovie is your formation tool. You bring the legal judgment; Lovie handles the administrative side.
Do I need a registered agent even though I'm an attorney?
Yes — every US company needs a registered agent in its state of formation, regardless of profession. Using your own office address means you must be available during business hours to accept service of process. Lovie includes a dedicated registered agent, so that's one less thing to think about.
