About General Legal

The law firm for companies that need senior counsel without a traditional firm. Backed by Y Combinator.

About the role

We're building out a dedicated health tech practice, and we're looking for an attorney who has spent their career going deep on this vertical — not broad.

What they're looking for

  • J.D. from an accredited law school, active bar membership in good standing
  • Hands-on experience drafting and negotiating BAAs and other healthcare-specific contracts
  • Encyclopedic knowledge of HIPAA, FDA, and digital health regulatory frameworks, and the kind of current awareness that comes from genuinely caring about the space
  • Real enthusiasm for teaching and knowledge-sharing — you're not protective of what you know, you want to multiply it
  • Comfortable working with attorneys across experience levels, from first-year associates to senior partners
  • Clear, confident communicator who can translate regulatory complexity into practical guidance for health tech founders and teams
More about this role

This role is for a health tech specialist: a practitioner who has mastered health tech law, built real expertise through years of client work, and is ready to put that knowledge to work in a new way.

General Legal is an AI-native law firm built to deliver high-quality legal 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 building a modern law firm where great lawyers can do their best work—and help reshape how legal services are delivered.
