The law firm Goodwin Procter has launched a new resource for entrepreneurs that will help them navigate some of the legal and organizational challenges that startups face. Called Founder's Workbench, the site includes a variety of free, self-service tools for generating basic legal documents.

Documents that can be created include a Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, Consent of Board of Directors, and Common Stock Certificates. Creating these documents is quite simple - just a set of fill-in-the-blank and multiple choice questions that results in the creation of the appropriate documents. The site also guides entrepreneurs through the document creation process, outlining some of the regulatory and administrative issues that startups need to address.
