About General Legal

General Legal is a law firm built around AI rather than a product sold to law firms. The distinction is the whole business: the client is a founder who needs a contract reviewed, and what they get back is legal work rather than software to do it themselves. The subject is commercial contracting, which is where most early-stage legal spend goes and where most of it is repetitive. Work comes in and goes out through Slack rather than through a portal. Part of the team previously built AI products for lawyers at Casetext, which is the useful piece of background: they had already spent years finding out which parts of the job a model can take and which it cannot. The firm launched in January 2026, joined Y Combinator's Winter 2026 batch, and is based in San Francisco.
