Forward-Deployed Attorneys
An attorney embedded in client companies' Slack workspaces, building the playbooks that keep deals moving.
Counsel that builds better legal processes
General Legal’s forward-deployed attorneys help legal leaders add capacity and build a better system for their company’s legal work. Each client has a named attorney who joins its Slack, follows the product roadmap, and handles contracts from intake through signature.
The attorney works proactively, updating customer terms and the data processing agreement before product changes reach a live deal, and revising templates when the same clause keeps stalling negotiations. Building systems is part of the job, so playbooks and approved fallback positions let sales and operations teams resolve routine questions on their own, freeing up legal leadership for higher-stakes questions.

Forward deployment fits companies that need a better process for handling legal work. Each engagement starts with a discovery call, followed by a scoped proposal with pricing set before work begins.
