A free template from the internet is the document you will need when a hire goes wrong, and that is the moment it fails. We draft employment agreements, offer letters, and contractor agreements to the law where you hire — IP assignment so work product belongs to the company, confidentiality and trade-secret cover, non-solicit and non-compete written only where they are enforceable, and compensation, equity, and termination terms that hold together. One template fee, reusable across every future hire in that jurisdiction, with per-hire customisation when you make an offer.
From $395 — a flat attorney fee per template, reusable across hires, quoted in writing before any drafting begins.

How it works
A short call to settle the variables: which jurisdiction you hire in, the role level, the compensation structure, the IP-assignment you need, and which restrictive covenants are enforceable where the employee sits. The commercial terms are yours; we pressure-test them and flag what local law will and will not hold.
An attorney drafts the offer letter and full employment agreement with every jurisdiction-specific clause — IP assignment, confidentiality, non-solicit, and a non-compete only where it is enforceable. You review and approve the template before it goes into use.
When you make an offer, send the candidate details and any negotiated terms — sign-on, equity, title, start date. We customise the approved template and return the executable agreement, typically within one business day.
What it costs
Employment Contract Drafting starts from $395. Employment contract drafting is a flat attorney fee per template, quoted in writing after a free scoping call and before any drafting begins — no per-hour billing and no quote after the fact. One template covers all future hires in that jurisdiction; each additional jurisdiction is a separate template, and per-hire customisation is quoted separately. Executive-level and multi-jurisdiction contracts are scoped and quoted upfront.
What's included
The attorney fee is a flat quote confirmed in writing before any drafting begins. We draft and advise; we do not guarantee a clause survives a court challenge or any employment outcome — enforceability is decided by courts. The commercial terms are yours, and we coordinate a tax, securities, or local employment-law specialist where a question turns on one.
Get started
Tell us about the role and the jurisdiction, and a GTC attorney will scope a compliant contract and email a flat-fee quote — no payment, no obligation.
Brand details
A short label — for example the role title or the new hire's name.
Choose the closest fit.
Employment law is local, so the country (and US state, if relevant) sets the rules we draft to.
Senior and executive contracts often need extra terms — equity, bonuses, or longer notice periods.
If you need the same contract for several people, the count helps us quote any volume discount.
Why GTC
The contract's job is to put work product in the company's hands. We draft assignment language to your jurisdiction — including the specific wording some countries require to waive moral rights — and handle contractor agreements separately, because work-for-hire does not attach to non-employees automatically in many places.
Confidentiality and trade-secret clauses written to protect what the role touches — code, client lists, roadmaps, pricing. Tuned to what the relevant law will enforce, so the protection survives a challenge rather than reading well and collapsing in court.
Non-compete and non-solicit terms are drafted to what the jurisdiction allows — California, North Dakota, Oklahoma and India each limit them sharply. A symbolic but unenforceable non-compete creates more problems than it solves, so we write only what will hold.
You pay once to draft the template, then customise per hire in a day — no repeat legal cost per offer. For teams hiring across borders, we draft jurisdiction-specific templates that share commercial DNA but each comply with local notice, severance, and statutory-benefit law.

The timeline
You pay once to draft the template, then customise per hire in a day. Most of the time is spent getting the jurisdiction-specific clauses right before the template goes into use; the per-hire turnaround after that is fast.
We settle the jurisdiction, role level, and compensation structure, the IP-assignment you need, and which restrictive covenants are enforceable where you are hiring.
The offer letter plus full employment agreement, with every jurisdiction-specific clause. You review and approve before it goes into use.
One drafting fee covers all future hires in that jurisdiction — no repeat legal cost per offer. Add a second jurisdiction as a separate template when you start hiring there.
Send the candidate details and any negotiated terms — sign-on, equity, title — and we return the executable agreement, typically the next business day.
In their words
