Texas to invest $1 million to relocate LegalZoom to Austin
February 20th, 2010 - 1:43 am ICT by BNO NewsAUSTIN, TEXAS (BNO NEWS) – Texas will invest $1 million for the relocation of some offices of LegalZoom.com from Los Angeles, California to Austin, Texas, Governor Rick Perry announced on Friday.
The investment, made through the Texas Enterprise Fund (TEF), will create up to 600 jobs and more than $11.7 million in capital investment.
LegalZoom.com provides online legal document services like last wills, living trusts, LLCs, among others. The office at Austin will become fully operational in the coming months and will include sales positions, order fulfillment, customer service and technical support representatives.
“We’re thrilled with the City Council’s vote and are very excited to move forward with our Austin expansion plans. Since we started in 2000 we’ve been based solely in Los Angeles. So selecting our first location outside of Los Angeles was a very big decision for us, which we carefully considered for over 6 months,” LegalZoom President and Chief Operating Officer Frank Monestere said.
