What is a Business Legal Health Check?
A legal health check is a structured audit of your business's legal readiness — examining whether you have the key documents, compliance programs, and contractual protections in place to operate safely and sustainably.
Many small and mid-size businesses operate with significant legal gaps without realizing it. A missing operating agreement, no employment contracts, or an absent privacy policy can expose you to fines, lawsuits, and operational disruptions.
What We Audit
- Legal Documents (40%) — NDAs, operating agreements, employment contracts, IP assignments, and more
- Compliance (25%) — CCPA, GDPR, HIPAA, labor law, and industry-specific requirements
- Contracts (20%) — Vendor agreements, client service agreements, and contractor agreements
- Policies (15%) — Privacy policy, terms of service, employee handbook, and data governance
How Is the Score Calculated?
Your Legal Health Score (0–100) is a weighted composite of four categories. We compare your current documents and compliance programs against what's required for your business type, state, employee count, and industry. Each gap reduces your score — and each recommendation links directly to a LegalStack template or tool to fix it.
How Often Should I Run This?
We recommend running a legal health check quarterly, or whenever you:
- Hire your first employee (or tenth)
- Expand to a new state or country
- Launch a new product or service
- Raise funding or bring on investors
- Enter new vendor or client relationships
