On-demand legal services company LegalZoom.com, Inc. has announced a partnership with contracting technology provider Clause Inc. by which it will offer its customers access to Clause’s smart contract services. The move represents the first salvo in what is shaping up to be a race to bring smart contracts—which automatically execute their terms on the blockchain without need of intermediaries—to the legal service market.

With the new partnership, LegalZoom will allow its users to edit and sign contracts through the Clause platform, or augment LegalZoom contracts with Clause’s “Smart Clauses” feature, so that such contracts can execute automatically on any blockchain.
