GTC triages the matter, assesses its strength, models every settlement off-ramp, and co-engages specialist litigation counsel in your jurisdiction. We stay the relationship lead, overseeing budget and strategy from demand letter to resolution.

How it works
We review the facts, the IP rights at issue, and the other side's position. You get a candid read on the strength of the matter and the realistic paths forward — before any money is committed to a fight.
We model every off-ramp first — a demand letter, mediation, or arbitration often resolves a matter before court. Where litigation is warranted, we select and co-engage specialist litigation counsel admitted in the right jurisdiction.
GTC stays the relationship lead and matter-management point. We oversee budget, keep counsel aligned to your commercial goals, and translate every pleading and procedural step into plain decisions you can act on.
What it costs
IP Litigation starts from $2,500. Every dispute is priced after a free assessment call, once the matter and forum are known. GTC's oversight is billed as hourly co-counsel, or a flat monthly oversight retainer — both disclosed up front. Specialist litigation counsel bill separately, and court, government and arbitral fees are passed through at cost. We model the settlement, mediation and arbitration off-ramps before recommending the expensive road.
What's included
Cost ranges shown are factual specialist-counsel market references, not GTC's fee. GTC's oversight fee is quoted per matter and is committed only after you approve it. Specialist counsel, court, government and arbitral fees are separate.

Why GTC
We assess strength and model every off-ramp before recommending the expensive road. Settlement, mediation and arbitration are weighed first, so litigation is a considered choice, not a reflex.
GTC does not appear in court itself. We select specialist litigation counsel in your jurisdiction, co-engage them, and stay the single point overseeing budget and communication across the whole matter.
Many disputes resolve through the prosecutorial tools we already run — cease-and-desist, opposition, takedown — before a suit is ever filed. We escalate to litigation only when those routes are exhausted.
Cross-border infringement needs counsel in several countries. We keep one relationship lead and one strategy across them all, so the matter does not fragment into disconnected local fights.

Timeline
Most disputes resolve well before trial. The phases below show how a matter typically moves; timing depends on the forum, the jurisdiction, and whether an off-ramp is taken.
We review the facts and the rights at issue, give a candid read on strength, and map the realistic paths — including the settlement and ADR off-ramps — before any counsel is engaged.
Often the matter is resolved here. A demand letter, a cease-and-desist, or a mediation proposal is sent. Many disputes settle at this stage without a suit being filed.
Where litigation is warranted, specialist counsel is co-engaged and pleadings are filed. Interim relief — an injunction or interim order — is sought where the facts call for it.
Through discovery, summary judgment, and any hearing, GTC stays the lead overseeing budget and strategy. The matter resolves by settlement, award, or judgment — with off-ramps revisited throughout.
In their words
One accountable team across every practice, operating since 2016.
