Meet Our Founder

Why Marla Founded 9to5

After years advising Fortune 500 companies on global tax strategy and high-stakes deals, I saw a glaring gap: small businesses and startups didn't have access to the same caliber of legal support. They were forced to choose between paying tens of thousands for basic documents or risking their future on outdated and incorrect templates.

I knew there had to be a better way. I founded 9to5 Legal Docs to bring enterprise-level legal expertise to entrepreneurs in a format that's simple, fast, and affordable. Every tool we offer is built on attorney-trained AI, guided by ethical practices, and always rooted in real legal expertise. The result is a human-powered, tech-enabled legal system that helps founders protect their businesses, raise capital, and scale with confidence.

My focus has always been the same: making sure entrepreneurs and growing teams get the kind of legal foundation that supports their vision without unnecessary cost or friction.
