    How it works

    How commercial litigation works with GTC

    1

    Free strategic assessment

    A 60-minute review of the dispute. We identify the legal theories, assess strength, and lay out the realistic routes — settlement, mediation, arbitration, or litigation — so you choose with the full picture.

    2

    Counsel selection and co-engagement

    We recommend two or three specialist litigation firms in your jurisdiction with relevant expertise. You select; we co-engage. The fee structure is transparent — fixed-fee phases or hourly with stop-loss caps.

    3

    Co-counsel oversight

    GTC stays the relationship lead and matter-management point. We coordinate with the specialist firm, track the budget, and keep communication clean from the first demand letter through to resolution.

    What it costs

    Quoted per matter, with off-ramps first

    Commercial Litigation starts from $2,500. Every dispute is quoted per matter after a free strategic assessment. GTC's own oversight fee renders as the live anchor above — taken as hourly co-counsel or a flat monthly oversight retainer, both disclosed up front. Specialist litigation counsel is engaged with transparent fee structures: fixed-fee phases or hourly with stop-loss caps. Court, arbitral, and government fees are passed through at cost.

    What's included

    • Free 60-minute strategic assessment of the dispute and its legal theories
    • Settlement, mediation, and arbitration paths modelled before litigation is recommended
    • Specialist litigation counsel recommendations — two or three firms, fee structures shared up front
    • Engagement structured as fixed-fee phases (pleadings, discovery, motion practice, trial) or hourly with stop-loss caps
    • Co-counsel coordination throughout, with GTC as the relationship lead and matter-management point
    • Budget tracking and a single clean communication line across the engagement
    • Post-resolution follow-through: collections, asset recovery, and enforcement of orders or awards
    Initial strategic assessment
    Free 60-minute consultation
    Pre-litigation negotiation (specialist-counsel market)
    Typically low five figures, quoted per matter
    Through summary judgment (specialist-counsel market)
    Typically tens to low hundreds of thousands, quoted per matter
    Through trial (specialist-counsel market)
    Typically $150K+ in specialist-counsel fees, quoted per matter
    Court, arbitral & government fees
    At cost

    Cost ranges shown are factual specialist-counsel market figures, not GTC's fee. GTC's oversight fee renders as the live anchor above and is confirmed in writing before any work begins.

    Why GTC

    Why route a dispute through GTC

    Legal team

    Dispute counsel
    Attorney-led

    Off-ramps modelled first

    Litigation is expensive and slow. We model settlement, mediation, and arbitration before recommending the courtroom — sometimes the right answer is to fight, sometimes to settle, sometimes to walk away.

    Specialist counsel, your jurisdiction

    Effective litigation needs court-admitted lawyers with active trial practice in the right forum. We select and co-engage that specialist firm rather than pretending to litigate ourselves.

    One relationship lead throughout

    GTC stays the matter-management point across the engagement, coordinating the specialist firm, tracking the budget, and keeping the communication line clean so nothing falls between the seams.

    Fees disclosed up front

    Fixed-fee phases — pleadings, discovery, motion practice, trial — or hourly with stop-loss caps. Our oversight fee is set out before any work begins, with court and government fees passed through at cost.

    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.

    Commercial Litigation FAQ

    Frequently asked questions

    No. GTC coordinates specialist litigation counsel rather than litigating directly. Effective litigation requires court-admitted lawyers with active trial practice in the specific jurisdiction. We triage the dispute, assess its strength, select and co-engage the right specialist firm, and stay the relationship lead overseeing budget and communication. We do not appear before the tribunal ourselves.
