LOS ANGELES -- LegalZoom.com (www.legalzoom.com), the nation's leading online legal document service, announced that it has been named winner of Entretech/PricewaterhouseCoopers' fourth annual Entrepreneurship Award 2007. The Entretech/PricewaterhouseCoopers Entrepreneurship Award honors growing, leading-edge companies in high-tech industries.

Co-founded by attorney Robert Shapiro in 2001, LegalZoom.com lets consumers and small-business owners take care of common legal matters online for a fraction of what it costs to hire an attorney. Whether you are looking for a Will, Living Will, Living Trust, Incorporation, or LLC Formation, LegalZoom.com makes it convenient to prepare and file important legal documents from the home or office. Customers simply answer a few questions online and LegalZoom.com takes care of the rest. LegalZoom's professionals review customer answers for common mistakes and either send the final documents to the customer or, if applicable, file them with the appropriate government agency.

"It's a great honor to win this award," said Brian Liu, co-founder and chairman of LegalZoom.com. "The competition was tremendous, but this award is a genuine validation of the last five years we spent building LegalZoom.com into America's number one online legal document service."

LegalZoom.com opened it doors in the spring of 2001. The company was started by three entrepreneurs: Brian Liu, chairman; Brian Lee, managing director; and Edward Hartman, chief strategic and technology officer. Today, the company makes it convenient and affordable for millions of Americans to take care of important legal matters without an attorney.

LegalZoom.com was honored at the awards dinner on April 19. Finalists for the award included Oversee.net and Energy Innovations. Previous winners have included Guidance Software, a leader in computer forensics and incident response solutions that completed a successful IPO in December 2006 and NextAce Corporation, provider of title insurance and mortgage lender real-estate software. Entretech (www.entretech.org), a leading business development organization supporting Los Angeles-based high tech companies, offered the Entrepreneurship Award in partnership with PricewaterhouseCoopers, the world's largest professional services organization. Award finalists were chosen for their use of advanced technology and significant contributions to the economic vitality of the Greater Los Angeles region.
