Recently, legal documentation automation providers have moved to expand their databases to cater to attorneys in more states—but the process of scaling up from one state to another is not without its hurdles. Many companies have to navigate red tape, build relationships with local courts, and have a strong research team to stay on top of the latest changes.

Earlier this week, San Francisco-based document automation platform Lawyaw expanded its state court form libraries to include two new states—Ohio and Michigan, rounding up its repertoire to eight states (including California, Florida, Georgia, New York, Illinois and Texas) and U.S. Customs and Immigration forms.
