General Counsel on AngelList.

Work with a lawyer on AngelList for a flat monthly fee.

$3,000 / month

The dreaded billable hour should not slow down your growth.

To avoid high legal fees founders often skip, delay, or DIY their legal needs. But without proper legal counsel, you risk making costly mistakes, such as:

  • Making mistakes on AngelList.
  • Making uninformed “gut” decisions.
  • Using Google as your lawyer.
  • Drafting your own contracts.
  • Focusing on unimportant issues and slowing down deals.
  • Entering due diligence unprepared.
  • Missing opportunities.

Scale your business. Don’t stress about legal.

You have enough on your plate. Legal should not be an additional source of stress. Work with an attorney to avoid costly mistakes, and breathe easy knowing you’ll never get a surprise legal bill.

FAQ

Yes really. The whole point of General Counsel is to be there when you need us. By removing the billable hour, we’ve made it frictionless for you to reach out to us on issues big and small. This completely changes the dynamic of the relationship from transactional to partnership.
We work smarter, not harder. Because we designed the firm specifically for entrepreneurs, from day one we’ve been relentlessly focused on the efficient delivery of quality legal services. Our model is built on the 3 Ps: (1) Partner – Each General Counsel client is paired with a Partner with 10+ years experience in startup law. (2) Paralegal – The partner is supported by a Senior Paralegal with 20+ years of experience. (3) Process – We’ve invested in automation (and are exploring AI) to make our process quick, smooth and highly accurate.

We’ve been working with founders for over a decade. From our experience, General Counsel covers about 90% of a startup’s legal needs. Although issues like regulation, taxation, international structuring and M&A are not included within the scope of General Counsel, everything listed above is included. When projects are out of scope, we often work with our General Counsel clients on a per project basis.

Our cost savings are based on the price to get the services on a per-project basis here at Westaway. If numbers excite you, check out this Google Sheet that gives an itemized breakdown for each General Counsel Plan. All calculations are based on our publicly available transparent pricing list averaged over 12 months. Of course, keep in mind that our prices tend to be 20-40% less than most startup law firms, so the cost savings compared to those firms will be significantly greater.

Contract review includes reviewing, editing and negotiating any contract that is 20 pages or less with any counterparty.

Most entrepreneurs want a trusted legal partner, but they hate surprise legal bills. At Westaway, we take care of your startup’s legal needs for a fixed-monthly fee so you can control your costs and focus on scaling your business.
