Slack & email native

FAQ

Questions about General Legal vs Harvey.

Isn't Harvey AI more powerful than General Legal?+
Harvey is powerful AI software, but power and usefulness aren't the same thing. Harvey is built for enterprise law firms and large in-house legal departments that already employ attorneys to operate and validate its output. General Legal is built for companies that need finished legal work. We use AI extensively, but our attorneys take professional responsibility for every deliverable. Harvey cannot do that.
Is General Legal just an AI tool with a legal brand?+
No. General Legal is a licensed law firm, not an AI platform. Every matter is led by a qualified attorney who reviews AI output, applies judgment, redlines your contracts, and takes professional responsibility for the result. Our AI makes our attorneys faster. Our attorneys make the AI trustworthy. You get both.
Can General Legal match Harvey's AI capabilities?+
Yes, for the work that matters to growing companies. Our proprietary AI triages every contract instantly, flags non-standard terms, scores risk, and benchmarks against market standard. Then an attorney reviews and delivers a final redline. Harvey's AI is sophisticated but designed for law firms. Ours is designed for the companies those firms serve.
Is General Legal cheaper than Harvey AI?+
Significantly, for most growth-stage companies. Harvey requires an enterprise license (starting at $24,000+/month) plus the attorneys you already need to validate and act on its output. General Legal charges a flat fee per matter, attorney included. You know the cost before work begins, and there's no minimum spend or enterprise contract required.
What contract types does General Legal cover vs Harvey?+
General Legal covers the full range of company legal: technology transactions, employment, data privacy and compliance, corporate, and financial regulatory. Harvey is primarily optimised for commercial contract workflows in law firm environments. If your company needs employment law, HIPAA compliance, SAFEs, or equity documents, General Legal covers them all.
