10/15 funzionalità in cui HAQQ è leader

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, with published tiered fees from $250 to $2,000 depending on the document, and 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 pricing 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.

A real law firm pricing itself like a product

General Legal is a Y Combinator (W26 batch) company, but it is a practicing law firm, not a software vendor: it takes on commercial contracting work for growth-stage US companies and bills for it directly. Its own site publishes tiered flat fees, including "$500 / contract" for a standard review with one revision round, alongside $250 and $1,000 tiers and a $2,000 rate for foundational drafting.

Those are prices for a completed engagement with a human attorney on the other end, not a software seat. HAQQ is the platform underneath that kind of speed: a tool a firm runs itself rather than a firm you hand the work to.

“$500 / contract” — verificato il 2026-09-03

Fast, US-only, one practice area at the core

General Legal's own site states, "For most agreements, we support companies doing business in all US states," and lists a median first-turn time of "≤ 3 hrs." That speed is real, and it is the number a startup client will quote back at any firm competing for the same work.

It is also bounded: US jurisdiction, English language, and a practice built around commercial contracting rather than the research, multi-jurisdiction reasoning or matter and billing infrastructure a broader practice needs, all of which sit inside HAQQ.

Which one should you pick?

Choose General Legal

You're a US startup needing a specific commercial contract reviewed or negotiated fast, and a flat $250-$1,000 fee beats instructing a traditional firm.
You want a completed, attorney-reviewed deliverable rather than a tool your own team operates.
Your need is squarely commercial contracting, NDAs, MSAs, DPAs, vendor agreements, not broader legal work.

Choose HAQQ

You're a firm that wants the same drafting and review speed running inside your own practice, not handed to another firm.
You need legal research, multi-jurisdiction reasoning, or matter and billing infrastructure alongside contract work.
You work outside the US, or need Arabic. General Legal's stated coverage is US-only in English.

If your firm has been outsourcing contract review to General Legal

There's no software to migrate here. The change is deciding to do the work yourself instead of sending it out. A firm that has been routing routine commercial contracts to a service like General Legal because it couldn't match the turnaround can close that gap with a platform built for the same speed, and keep the fee on its own books.

List the contract types (NDAs, MSAs, DPAs, vendor terms) your firm currently sends elsewhere for fast turnaround.
Run the same document types through your own AI-assisted drafting and review workflow to benchmark turnaround against what you've been quoted externally.
Bring the work back in-house once your turnaround is competitive, and keep the client relationship on your side.

The verdict

General Legal is a fast, flat-fee US law firm for commercial contracts; HAQQ is the platform that gives a firm the same speed without handing the client to someone else.

Best for: US startups needing one-off contract review should consider General Legal; firms that want to keep doing the work themselves need HAQQ.

Domande Frequenti

Who is behind General Legal?

It was founded in 2026 by J.P. Mohler, Javed Qadruddin and Ryan Walker, and backed by Y Combinator. Walker was CTO of Casetext, the company that built CoCounsel before Thomson Reuters acquired it, so the firm's AI credentials are real.

How much does General Legal charge?

Its own site publishes tiered flat fees: $250 for a simple review, $500 for a standard review, $1,000 for full negotiation, and $2,000 for foundational drafting, with turns guaranteed within three hours and typically delivered in one. HAQQ also publishes its pricing, but as a platform your firm runs rather than a firm you hand the work to.

Does General Legal do legal research or run matters?

No. It is focused on commercial contracting, with no legal research suite, matter management or billing for other firms. HAQQ covers drafting, review, research, matters and invoicing in one system.

Is General Legal backed by investors?

Does General Legal work outside the United States?

Its own site states it supports companies doing business in all US states 'for most agreements.' There is no stated coverage outside the US in its public materials.
