I wouldn't be surprised if WSGR supported it as a natural way for them to pull in more clients in a tough economy. Plus, all major silicon valley firms defer billing for start ups until funding comes in -- if companies get started using WSGR form documents it may help them limit their losses on these fee advances when the companies go belly up. Once they get funding, any major investor would insist on the Company getting some type of legal representation, so it's not like the lawyers are getting eliminated from the process -- just eliminated from the low margin stuff.
