About General Legal
A new kind of law firm
General Legal is an AI-native law firm built to deliver high-quality commercial contract work faster and more predictably than traditional firms. We focus on what clients actually want from outside counsel: clear ownership, practical advice, fast turnaround, and pricing that makes sense.
Why we built it
We started General Legal to accelerate the transformation of legal services to an AI-native model. After spending years building successful AI tools for law firms, we concluded that the law firm plus AI vendor approach will take years to produce the efficiency gains that are already possible today. For those who need justice, this is far too long to wait.
Instead we are building a law firm where AI is built into attorney workflows from the ground up. Technology automates the routine and manual parts of practice so our attorneys can focus on delivering exceptional service to our clients. Our approach has already accelerated commercial contracts delivery by a factor of 10. We've also seen that attorneys using AI make fewer errors and produce far more complete reviews.
We're just getting started and we're looking for great attorneys and engineers to join our team for this journey. Check out our open positions or get in touch.
Who we are
General Legal was built by technology and AI leaders from Casetext (YC S13) and attorneys with top-tier practice backgrounds. We're building a firm where great lawyers can do their best work and where clients get the speed, clarity, and service they should expect from outside counsel.
