For attorneys
Take back the formation revenue Atlas commoditised.
With your sign-off on every output. Your firm's brand on every artefact. Your bar number on every signed page. Marco Reid is the platform that turns attorneys into the irreplaceable layer again — not the bypassed one.
The problem
The mechanical work didn't lose value. The delivery did.
Stripe Atlas does in seven days what was a five-figure Cooley engagement: Cert of Incorporation, bylaws, EIN, Mercury account, founder pack. For $500.
The work Cooley did was always two things bundled: the mechanical filing and the professional sign-off. Atlas decoupled them and the bundle collapsed. Now the founder buys filing for $500 and skips the sign-off entirely.
That's the revenue every attorney lost — and the trust every founder lost.
What Atlas, Termly, and the Big-4 took from your firm.
Four revenue lines that left attorney practices over the last decade. Marco Reid restores all four — with you as the named professional, billing your fee.
Entity formation
Atlas does what was a $5–10k Cooley engagement for $500. The mechanical filing got commoditised. Marco Reid puts the filing behind your sign-off — you bill the founder for the structure, the review, and the relationship. The mechanics happen on rails.
SaaS legal pack
Termly does ToS / Privacy / AUP / Cookie templates for $99/mo. Founders skip the lawyer. Marco Reid drafts the same artefacts — but they don't release until you sign. The founder gets a real legal pack, not a template-mill PDF, and you bill for the work that matters.
Cross-border tax structure
Big-4 charges $15k for an Option-A-vs-Option-B transfer-pricing memo. Marco Reid drafts the holdco/opco model from the founder's facts — you and your accountant peer review and sign. Same defensible position, your fee captures the judgement layer.
Annual compliance
Atlas reminds founders to file the Delaware franchise tax. Marco Reid runs the actual annual filing — but with your firm's name on the lodgement and your sign-off on the return. Recurring revenue by default, not by hustle.
What Marco Reid restores
You are the irreplaceable layer.
Six structural advantages that compound the longer your firm stays on Marco Reid. None of them exist for an Atlas customer. All of them exist for yours.
Sign-off on every output
Bylaws, ToS, Privacy Policy, transfer-pricing memo, annual filing — none of it leaves Marco Reid until your firm's licensed practitioner approves it through the SignoffRequest queue. Your name and bar number on every artefact. The structural moat that Atlas can't replicate.
Your firm's brand on every artefact
White-label cover pages. Your firm's logo, your firm's letterhead, your firm's contact details. Marco Reid is “powered by” in the footer; you are the named professional. The founder's binder reads like your firm produced it — because professionally, you did.
Your firm's preferred clauses
Override Marco Reid's default templates with your firm's standard wording. Your favourite arbitration clause, your liability cap, your data-residency carve-out — applied automatically to every founder you onboard.
Cross-jurisdictional reach
A Wellington solicitor can serve a US-bound founder with US co-counsel signing the US-law artefacts via the marketplace. A Sydney accountant can serve a NZ founder with the NZ-tax artefacts. Geographic monopoly is over; the rail is.
Productivity unlock
Three days of associate work becomes 45 minutes of partner review on a pre-cited, pre-checked draft. Same fee, different margin. Solo firms compete with biglaw because Marco Reid did the biglaw drudgery.
Audit posture you can stake your practice on
Every action lands in the hash-chained AuditLog. Every filing in RegulatorFiling. Every document version in DocumentVersion. When the next NZLS audit, OMARA review, or LSB inquiry arrives, the answer is one signed export away.
Built around the rules of your profession.
Not retrofitted around them. Marco Reid was designed from day one to satisfy ABA Model Rule 5.4, the NZ Lawyers and Conveyancers Act 2006, the AU Legal Profession Acts, and every equivalent regime that protects the bar's monopoly on legal services.
Rule 5.4 / Lawyers and Conveyancers Act compliance
Marco Reid is a tooling vendor. You bill the founder; we bill you. No fee-splitting, no percentage-of-engagement, no joint client. Two engagement letters, two transactions, two relationships. The model that survives every bar's conduct review.
Trust account integration
NZ Lawyers' Trust Account Regulations 2008 wired in. AU jurisdictional trust regimes wired in. Akahu (NZ) and Basiq (AU) bank feeds reconciling against the trust ledger automatically. The audit trail your auditor wants is the audit trail you already have.
PI insurance friendly
Marco Reid's audit posture reduces claim frequency materially. We're talking to NZLS PII Scheme broker (Marsh) and Lawcover (AU) about formal premium discounts for Marco Reid firms. Watch this space.
CPD on autopilot
Research, drafting, and review hours captured automatically as CPD activity. NZLS, Law Council of Australia, and US state bar accreditation in progress. Your practising certificate renewal becomes a one-click export, not a year-end scramble.
Pricing that respects the bar.
Per-seat SaaS. Per-formation tooling fee that you pass through as a cost line on your invoice. No fee-splitting, no percentage-of-engagement, no shared revenue with your client. Two transactions, two engagement letters, two relationships.
