The document discusses the challenges lawyers face in finding affordable, high-quality legal forms. It notes that current methods like Westlaw subscriptions, law library research, asking colleagues, or drafting forms from scratch are expensive and inefficient. The company Vizibid aims to address this problem by building a solution to provide easier and cheaper access to model legal forms. It encourages lawyers to sign up, complete a survey, or provide feedback to help Vizibid design its new service.

1. Lawyers:
Do you have a problem finding good forms for
legal documents at a reasonable price?
We think you do. Are we right?

2. The problem:
You want access to good model forms for legal
documents, but good model forms are
overpriced and hard to find quickly. You’re
either spending too much money on good
model forms or too much time trying to find
them for free.

3. Your Current Method:
If you are like most attorneys, you probably use some
combination of the following methods to get your
model forms for legal documents:
(a) searching a Westlaw database or using a similar
paid subscription service;
(b) searching for forms in the law library;
(c) asking colleagues for forms;
(d) using your firm’s in house form library; and
(e) drafting forms from scratch.

4. These methods work, but each one comes at a
high cost.
Either you are paying that cost, or your client is
paying it.

5. Westlaw is expensive.
Most Westlaw subscriptions for forms for a
single jurisdiction cost $150 or more, per
lawyer, per month.
For a national forms subscription, the cost rises
to $265 per lawyer, per month.

6. Searching for model forms for legal documents
in the law library is time consuming and
therefore expensive.
Considering your billing rate, your library search
likely costs you or your client more than a
Westlaw subscription would cost.

7. Asking other lawyers for model forms for legal
documents can be embarrassing. Plus, the
only forms they can give you are the forms
they already happen to have.
You might get the form you need. You might not.

8. If you are lucky enough to be in a firm that has
its own in house form library, you are still
limited to the model forms your firm happens
to have.

9. Drafting a new form from scratch is the most
expensive method of all.
Drafting from scratch is incredibly time
consuming, and your billed hours are a cost
either you or your client has to absorb. Worst
of all, when you draft a form from scratch, it’s
hard to be certain your form will pass muster
if it is ever tested in court.

10. We have entered a new economic era.
In these economic times, everyone is feeling the
pinch. Clients are now demanding that
lawyers provide services at lower cost.
Paying less for good model forms for legal
documents is a savings you can pass on to
your clients.

11. Vizibid is building the solution.
At Vizibid, we are dedicated to making it easier
and cheaper for lawyers to access high quality
model forms for legal documents. We are
currently in the process of finding the best
way to provide this service, and getting your
input is our highest priority.
