General Legal
The AI-native law firm for fast-growing companies.
About General Legal
General Legal is an AI-native law firm built to deliver high-quality commercial contract work faster and more predictably than traditional firms. We combine experienced, U.S.-barred attorneys with AI-native workflows to handle drafting, review, and negotiation end to end - without billable hours, bloated process, or junior handoffs. We operate like a startup because we are one. That means modern tooling, outcome-based pricing, remote-friendly work, and meaningful ownership for the people doing the work. By using AI to make the routine parts of contracting effortless, we give our attorneys the space to focus on judgment, negotiation, and advising clients on what actually matters. We’re starting with commercial contracts for growing companies and building a modern law firm where great lawyers can do their best work and help reshape how legal services are delivered.

Javed Qadruddin
Been coding since the age of 9. Went to Harvard Law because I liked law too. Represented startup companies at Fenwick & West for 2 years, but decided I'd rather actually build things. Switched back to engineering in 2013. Got really into deep learning in 2014. Been at the intersection of law and AI ever since at Casetext (YC13, exited to Thomson Reuters in '23), and at Meta.
