When a term sheet lands, investor counsel opens your data room and starts pulling threads. We get there first. A GTC attorney builds the data room, cleans up the cap table and corporate records, reviews your contracts and IP, and remediates the red flags — so diligence confirms the deal instead of unwinding it. The investor still runs their own review; we make sure it goes smoothly.

How it works
Sixty to ninety minutes plus a document pull. We map the round stage, the cap table, the corporate records, the key contracts, and the IP, then run a diligence checklist against what investor counsel will ask for. You get a written scope and a flat-fee quote.
We build and organise the data room to the structure investors expect, then fix what the review surfaced — missing board consents, unsigned IP assignments, a cap table that does not tie out, contract gaps. Each item is handled by the right specialist.
A written report lands in your portal: the red-flag summary, full findings by workstream, and what we fixed versus what is a commercial call for you. You go into diligence knowing exactly what an investor will find.
What it costs
Investor Due Diligence Prep starts from $2,500. Every diligence-prep engagement is quoted in writing after the readiness review, sized to the round stage and the company's complexity. The fee covers the review, the data-room build, and the remediation work. Government, registration, or filing fees, where any apply to a remediation step, are passed through at cost.
What's included
GTC's professional fee renders live from the catalog. We prepare the company and remediate the legal red flags; the investor runs their own diligence and the decision to invest is theirs. This is not investment or tax advice, and no fundraise outcome is guaranteed.
Get started
Tell us about the company and the round you are planning, and a GTC attorney will scope the diligence prep and email a flat-fee quote.

Why GTC
We run the same review investor counsel will run — corporate, cap table, contracts, IP, employment, regulatory — and surface every issue before the term sheet does. Nothing in the data room should surprise you.
The data room is built to the structure and index institutional investors expect, with documents complete and labelled. A clean, navigable data room signals a company that is easy to fund.
Missing board consents, unsigned IP assignments, a cap table that does not reconcile, gaps in key contracts — we remediate the items that can be fixed and tell you plainly which are commercial decisions only you can make.
A GTC attorney runs the review and grades each finding by how it reads to an investor. Where a tax or specialist-regulatory point comes up, we coordinate the right adviser rather than guessing.

The timeline
We surface and fix the red flags before investors look, so diligence confirms the deal rather than reopening it.
Sixty to ninety minutes plus a document pull, covering round stage, cap table, corporate records, key contracts, and IP. We run a diligence checklist and quote the scope in writing.
We build and index the data room to the structure investors expect, then review each workstream — corporate, IP, contracts, employment, regulatory — for what diligence will flag.
Fixable issues — missing consents, unsigned assignments, a cap table that does not tie out — are resolved as we find them. Commercial decisions are flagged for you to make.
A written red-flag report and the finished data room are delivered to your portal. You enter investor diligence knowing what will be found. Complex or multi-entity companies run longer.
In their words
One accountable team across every practice, operating since 2016.
