Contract review · Attorney markup

    Before you sign — have an attorney read it.

    An attorney reads the contract you're being asked to sign — MSA, SaaS, vendor, employment, or an NDA the other side drafted — and tells you what to push back on before you commit. You get a redlined markup, a written summary that ranks each change as must-change, should-change, or nice-to-have, and negotiation guidance ranked by leverage. The fee is flat, quoted in writing before any work begins.

    From $195 — a flat fee, quoted in writing before any work begins.

    How it works

    Three steps to a reviewed contract.

    1

    Send the contract

    Upload the PDF or Word file plus a one-line note on your priorities — price, exclusivity, IP, term, whatever matters most. We confirm receipt and quote the turnaround within one business hour, with a flat fee in writing before any work begins.

    2

    Review and markup

    An attorney redlines the contract clause by clause, writes the summary memo, and grades each proposed change by priority and your downside. Indemnities, liability caps, IP assignment, and termination get a risk-graded read, not a skim.

    3

    Delivery and follow-up

    The markup and memo land in your portal. An optional 15-minute call walks you through the changes — what to insist on, what to trade, and what to let go — before you send anything back to the counterparty.

    What it costs

    A flat fee, quoted up front.

    Contract Review and Redlining starts from $195. Contract review is a flat fee, quoted in writing before any work begins — no per-hour billing and no quote after the fact. The fee scales with the contract's length and complexity, from a short agreement up to a complex multi-stakeholder deal, and we confirm the exact figure and turnaround when you send the document. A negotiation round handled as substitute counsel, and rush turnaround, are quoted upfront as add-ons.

    What's included

    • Free 15-minute scoping call to confirm contract type, complexity, and your priorities
    • Redlined markup with a comment explaining each proposed change
    • Written summary ranking every change: must-change, should-change, nice-to-have
    • Risk-graded review of indemnities, liability caps, IP assignments, and termination
    • Negotiation guidance per change, ranked by counterparty leverage and your downside
    • Same-day to 3-business-day turnaround depending on length
    • Optional follow-up call to walk through the markup before you send it to the counterparty
    Short contract (≤10 pages)
    Flat fee, quoted by scope before work begins
    Standard MSA / SaaS / vendor (10–30 pages)
    Flat fee, quoted by scope before work begins
    Complex (M&A, JV, partnership — 30+ pages)
    Flat fee, quoted by scope before work begins
    Optional negotiation round with the counterparty
    Quoted upfront as an add-on
    Rush turnaround
    1.5× the review fee — quoted upfront

    The fee is a flat quote confirmed in writing before any work begins and scales with length and complexity. We flag risks and redline clauses, but we don't guarantee a contract is enforceable or that the counterparty will accept a change — courts and counterparties decide. The commercial terms are your decision; we don't provide tax or investment advice and coordinate a specialist where a term turns on tax, securities, or jurisdiction-specific employment law.

    Why GTC

    Why an attorney review catches what a self-read misses.

    Legal team
    GTC's contracts team
    Commercial counsel
    Attorney-drafted

    A redlined markup, not a verdict

    You get the contract back with tracked changes and a comment on each one explaining why it's there. It's a document you can send straight to the counterparty, not a vague memo that leaves you to redraft the clauses yourself.

    Changes ranked by priority

    Every proposed change is graded must-change, should-change, or nice-to-have, so you know where to hold the line and where to concede. A long list of edits is useless without a sense of which ones matter to your downside.

    The clauses where the money hides

    Most readers catch price and payment terms. The expensive issues — indemnity-cap drafting, IP assignment scope, sublicensing and audit rights, governing law — are where a deal quietly turns against you. Those get a risk-graded read.

    Negotiation guidance ranked by leverage

    For each change we tell you how hard it's worth pushing, given the counterparty's sophistication and your own leverage. The commercial decision stays yours; we give you the read and the wording to back it up.

    Your Customer Success Team

    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.
