Protect Your Billable Hours
Entity formation and compliance filings come off your attorneys' desks entirely — no paralegal hours, no write-offs, no work billed at rates that never covered it.

Why Law Firms Partner With STEPS
A Formation Team You Don't Employ
STEPS runs formation, EIN registration, registered agent, and ongoing compliance for your clients. No new paralegals, no new systems, no new software.
You Remain Sole Counsel
Your firm stays sole counsel and owns the relationship. We never market or sell to your clients.
Set the Fee, Keep the Margin
You pay STEPS for the work and bill your client at your rate. Compliance renews annually, so it recurs without a new engagement.
How It Works
Your Firm Leads. STEPS Handles the Infrastructure.
Your firm scopes and prices the work. We deliver it and report to you.
You Scope and Price the Work
Your firm identifies what the client's entity needs and sets your own fee for it.
We File It Under Your Firm's Name
STEPS forms the entity, registers the EIN, serves as registered agent, and tracks compliance — with your firm's branding on the client-facing work.
You Keep the Difference
You invoice your client at your rate. STEPS bills your firm for the work. The spread is your margin.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. STEPS does not provide legal advice or replace legal counsel. Your firm remains sole counsel on every matter; STEPS handles formation filings, registered agent service, and compliance tracking.
Your firm does, entirely. We never market or sell to your clients, and your firm's name is on the client-facing work.
Entity formation, EIN registration, registered agent service, state filings, and ongoing compliance tracking. Your partnership agreement sets which of these are included.
You mark up what you outsource. STEPS bills your firm for the work; your firm bills the client at the rate you set. Because compliance obligations renew annually, that revenue repeats without a new engagement.
Mostly not. Your firm's branding goes on the client-facing experience. Some areas carry a “Powered by STEPS” attribution, so the white-labeling is close to complete rather than total — better that you know now than your client noticing later.
