Clasp Formation

Go out on your own without
becoming an administrator.

The fully managed way to form a law firm. We file the entity, get the EIN, open your IOLTA and operating accounts, and set up Clasp before your first client.

Everything between
deciding and opening

You make the decisions. We do the filing, the waiting and the follow-up, with a named person guiding every step.
