Utah Alternative Business Structure (ABS) Law Firms
About Utah’s ABS Program
Utah’s regulatory sandbox allows non-traditional legal service providers to offer legal services through Alternative Business Structures (ABS). This innovative approach aims to increase access to justice by allowing non-lawyers to own, manage, or invest in legal service providers.
