Peace of mind.
As a founder, your attention is stretched. We make sure nothing slips through the cracks, so you avoid costly mistakes. Since we don’t bill you in 10-minute increments, you can reach out any time without breaking the bank.
As an entrepreneur I have a billion fires to put out. With General Counsel, legal is one I don’t have to deal with.

You don’t know what you don’t know. But we do. We’ve helped hundreds of entrepreneurs like you grow. Kyle brings his personal experience as an entrepreneur as well as his professional experience teaching entrepreneurship at some of nation’s best law schools to help you move from confusion to clarity.
A lot of bigger firms don’t take the time to invest in explaining and educating you. Westaway met me at my comfort level.

Save time.
Close deals fast. The billable hour incentivizes to over-lawyer every deal and slow down your momentum. By having a clear understanding of your specific needs, we focus on the negotiating the issues that really matter. Our approach results in less back and forth, so that you can close deals quickly and move forward.
General Counsel helps us empower our sales team to close deals fast.

Unlimited calls and emails, really?
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.
This seems a little too good to be true. How can you make this work?
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.
What is not included in General Counsel?
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.
How do you calculate the cost savings?
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.
What types of contracts are included under contract review?
Contract review includes reviewing, editing and negotiating any contract that is 20 pages or less with any counterparty.
