10/15 features where HAQQ leads
The speed benchmark your clients will quote at you
General Legal is a Y Combinator W26 law firm co-founded by Ryan Walker, former CTO of Casetext — the team behind CoCounsel before Thomson Reuters acquired it. It handles commercial contracting for growth-stage companies: MSAs, NDAs, DPAs, vendor agreements and terms of service, at a flat $500 per contract with turns guaranteed inside three hours and typically delivered in one. Twenty-plus companies moved their contracting to it within months of private preview. This is the number your clients will use as a benchmark. It is also contracts only, US only, English only, with no research, matters or billing. HAQQ gives your firm the speed without giving away the client.
Match the turnaround, keep the client
General Legal wins on speed and a price a founder can approve without a call. HAQQ puts the same drafting and review speed inside your firm, so the fast answer still comes from you.
More than commercial contracts
General Legal is scoped to commercial contracting for US startups. HAQQ adds legal research, multi-jurisdiction reasoning and the matters and invoices that carry a practice.
Beyond US English
General Legal serves US growth-stage companies in English. HAQQ reasons across jurisdictions and runs natively in Arabic for MENA firms and their clients.
