Properties, in its own words
Our corporate headquarters are located in Mountain View, California, under a lease expiring in 2029. In March 2025, we completed the sale of our operational headquarters in Austin, Texas, which is discussed in more detail in Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We also lease office spaces in other locations throughout the U.S. and internationally. We believe that these facilities are sufficient for our current needs and that additional facilities will be available to accommodate the expansion of our business should they be needed.

Risk factors and legal proceedings
The risks LegalZoom names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 23, 2026: 40 risks under these headings, as written.16
- Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry
- Our business primarily depends on business formations
- Our business depends substantially on our customers expanding their use of our platform, including our transactional customers converting into subscribers and our subscribers renewing their subscriptions with us
- Failure to effectively manage our growth could adversely impact our business
- Our future quarterly results of operations may fluctuate significantly due to a wide range of factors, which makes our future results difficult to predict
- We have a history of net losses and we may not be able to maintain profitability
- If we fail to provide high-quality products and services that meet our customers’ expectations, we may not be able to attract and retain customers
- If we do not continue to innovate and provide a platform that is useful to our customers, we may not remain competitive, and our results of operations could suffer
- The legal solutions market is highly competitive and our failure to effectively compete successfully could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects
- Our business depends on our brand and reputation, which could be adversely affected by numerous factors
- We are incorporating AI into some of our offerings, which may present both compliance risks and reputational risks
- If our marketing efforts are unsuccessful, our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects may be adversely affected
The other 29 risks
- We depend on top talent, including our senior management team, to grow and operate our business, and if we are unable to hire, retain or motivate our employees, we may not be able to grow or operate effectively, which may adversely affect our business and future prospects
- Our business and success depend in part on our strategic relationships with third parties, including our partner ecosystem, and our business may be harmed if we fail to maintain or expand these relationships
- Our reliance on third-party providers could adversely affect our business
- The acquisition of Formation Nation and any future acquisitions or investments may divert our management’s attention, result in additional dilution to our stockholders or adversely affect our operating results
- Our focus on the long-term best interests of our company and our consideration of our stakeholders, more broadly, including our stockholders, customers, employees, and other stakeholders that we may identify from time to time, may conflict with short- or medium-term financial interests and business performance, which may negatively impact the value of our common stock
- We may not effectively ensure that online services and physical locations are protected from significant outages, denial or degradation of service attacks, natural disasters, including adverse weather conditions, and other disruptions, any of which could adversely affect our brand and reputation, business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects
- We may from time to time become involved in litigation, arbitration or government investigation matters that are expensive and time consuming and, if resolved adversely, could harm our brand and reputation, business, results of operations, financial condition or future prospects
- We are subject to risks related to accepting credit and debit card payments that may harm our business or expose us to additional costs and liabilities
- Risks Relating to Our Financial Condition, Indebtedness and Capital Requirements
- Our results of operations may not immediately reflect downturns or upturns in sales because we recognize revenue from our customers over the term of their paid subscriptions with us
- We track certain financial and operating metrics with internal systems and tools and do not independently verify such metrics. Certain of our financial and operating metrics are subject to inherent challenges in measurement, and real or perceived inaccuracies in such metrics may harm our reputation and negatively affect our business
- We have in the past identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, and if we are unable to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of our common stock may decline
- The agreement governing our revolving credit facility requires us to meet certain operating and financial covenants and places restrictions on our operating and financial flexibility. If we raise additional capital through debt financing, the terms of any new debt could further restrict our ability to operate our business
- We are subject to fluctuations in interest rates
- Our ability to use our NOL carryforwards may be limited
- Changes in our effective tax rate or tax liability may have an adverse effect on our results of operations
- Changes in tax laws or regulations that are applied adversely to us or our customers may have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flow, financial condition or results of operations
- Risks Relating to Legal, Compliance and Regulatory Matters
- Our business and services subject us to complex and evolving U.S. and foreign laws and regulations
- Our Arizona subsidiary, which is licensed as an ABS, may not insulate us from claims of the unauthorized practice of law and is subject to restrictions under Arizona Code of Judicial Administration
- If the independent professionals who participate in our or our partners' networks, or otherwise work with LegalZoom as a consultant or contractor, are characterized as employees, we would be subject to employment and withholding liabilities and regulatory risks
- Compliance with U.S. and foreign privacy and data security requirements could result in additional costs and liabilities to us or inhibit our ability to collect and store data, and the failure to comply with such requirements could subject us to significant fines and penalties, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and reputation
- Breaches and other types of security incidents of our data, networks or systems, or those of the third parties with whom we work, could negatively impact our ability to conduct our business, our brand and reputation, our ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers, and may cause us to incur significant liabilities and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects
- Risks Relating to Intellectual Property
- Our use of open source software could negatively affect our proprietary technologies and our ability to offer and sell subscriptions to our products and could subject us to possible litigation
- If we are unable to adequately protect our intellectual property to prevent unauthorized use or appropriation, the value of our brand and other intangible assets, as well as our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects may be adversely affected
- Risks Relating to Ownership of Our Common Stock
- The market price of our common stock may be volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance, resulting in substantial losses for our investors
- A significant portion of our total outstanding shares may be sold into the market in the near future, which could cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is performing well
- Concentration of ownership of our common stock among our existing executive officers, directors and other affiliates may prevent new investors from influencing significant corporate decisions
- Provisions in our corporate charter documents and provisions under Delaware law could make an acquisition of us, which may be beneficial to our stockholders, more difficult and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management
- Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the doctrine of “corporate opportunity” will not apply with respect to certain stockholders
- Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forums for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or employees
Legal proceedings
We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings. However, from time to time we become subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, and we anticipate that legal proceedings, claims and litigation could be brought against us in the future.
