Scope the work
A short call to settle what you need, a contract drafted, a counterparty's draft reviewed, an HR audit, a governance setup, then a plan and a fee before any work begins.
Business Counsel
The contracts that run your business, drafted to hold up.
NDAs, commercial agreements, employment contracts, HR policies, board governance, and equity plans, drafted and reviewed by GTC's commercial attorneys, tuned to the law where you operate, with the risks flagged before you sign. A flat fee for an NDA, quoted scope for the rest.

How it works
Three stages from scoping call to signed, stored documents.
2
Draft or review
A GTC attorney drafts the agreement to your deal or redlines the one in front of you, tuned to the law where you operate, not a swapped-name template.
3
Negotiate & finalise
We support the negotiation, turn the agreed revisions, and deliver the final executed documents to your portal, stored against your matter.
How pricing works
Flat where we can, quoted to scope.
A standard NDA is a flat fee, shown up front. Contract drafting and review, employment work, HR audits, governance, equity plans, and legal audits are quoted per matter after a short call, so the fee fits the scope. You approve the fee in writing before any work begins.
One-off work
Per matter, quoted up front
A flat fee for an NDA; a scoped quote for drafting, review, employment, HR, governance, and audits. Confirmed before work starts.
Ongoing counsel
GTC Advantage retainer
Need an attorney on call for contracts and questions? GTC Advantage is a fixed monthly retainer for ongoing outside counsel.
Why GTC
One commercial team for the paperwork that runs the business.
Drafted by attorneys, not a form
Every contract and policy is drafted or reviewed by a commercial attorney to your deal and your jurisdiction. The part a template or an AI generator leaves generic and brittle.
Tuned to where you operate
Governing law, employment covenants, and HR policies are drafted to the law where the deal lands and your people work. US, India, EU, or UK, with local counsel coordinated where it matters.
Risk flagged before you sign
We tell you which clauses work against you and which terms to push back on, so you decide the commercial trade-offs with the risks in front of you.
One team across your paperwork
Contracts, employment, governance, and equity handled through a single point of contact, and an ongoing GTC Advantage retainer when you need counsel regularly.
Your Customer Success Team
A dedicated team that owns your matter from start to finish.
Every GTC client gets a dedicated Account Manager and a Senior Account Manager who learn your business and stay with you from first email to final filing. They are named people who pick up the phone and already know your matter, so every step moves forward without delay.
Your Account Manager
Your day-to-day point of contact, who coordinates every matter, keeps things moving, and already knows your file. They have your full history, so you start every conversation where the last one left off.
Your Senior Account Manager
Senior oversight on strategy and escalations, stepping in as your needs grow, so every important detail stays on track.
A named person, on email or a call, at every step.
