Summary
General Legal is an AI-native law firm that handles commercial contract review and negotiation for growth-stage companies. Ryan was CTO at Casetext (acquired by Thomson Reuters), where Javed led AI; both Javed and JP attended Harvard Law and practiced at Fenwick and Cooley. Traditional law firms charge $500–$2000 per hour and take days or weeks to review contracts, often missing harmful terms. They use proprietary AI workflows that make their attorneys 10× more efficient, offering flat-fee pricing at $500 per contract with 1-3 hour turnarounds. They've signed over 20 growth-stage companies since launching their private preview.
