Ask HN: Finding Legal Advice for Startup?

[bhavya6187]

We are building a news aggregator and wanted to make sure if we are not infringing any copyright laws. What would be the best way to find a lawyer/company to make sure we're in the good?

Hi there! Congrats on your startup. I'm a startup lawyer and I've only recently discovered a website called UpCounsel that essentially helps with what you're looking for. I've never used them but they have great reviews.

Happy to chat about your business myself, but I can only give you legal advice if you're in Ontario, Canada! :)

I hope this helps!

Thank you so much for offering to help, but we are looking for someone in California. Although UpCounsel looks very promising, and I've already started talking to lawyers on that. Thanks a lot!
