A whole-company legal review across six areas — entity and corporate housekeeping, contracts, IP ownership, employment, data and privacy, and regulatory exposure. We read your real documents, find what is missing or misaligned, and hand you a prioritised risk report and a remediation roadmap you can act on. Popular before a fundraise or M&A process, and as an annual check. The fee is a flat advisory rate, quoted by scope before any work begins.
From $995 — a flat advisory fee, quoted by scope before any work begins.

How it works
A call to agree the scope and what triggered it — a fundraise, an acquisition, or an annual check. We send a structured request list: cap table and corporate records, key contracts, IP assignments, employment and contractor paperwork, and any privacy and regulatory documents. You share them through a secure data room.
We work through each area in turn — entity housekeeping, contracts, IP ownership chain, employment and contractor status, data and privacy, and regulatory exposure. We flag what is missing, expired, unsigned, or inconsistent, and note where a commercial decision or a specialist's input is needed rather than guessing.
You receive a written report that ranks each finding by severity and effort, plus a remediation roadmap that sequences the fixes — what to do now, what to schedule, and what to watch. We walk you through it on a call so the priorities are clear.
What it costs
Legal Audit & Health Check starts from $995. A legal audit is a flat advisory fee, quoted by scope before any work begins — no per-hour billing and no quote after the fact. The fee depends on the breadth you choose: a focused single-area review sits at the lower end, while a full six-area whole-company audit ahead of a fundraise or sale scopes higher. We confirm the scope and the fee in writing up front, and remediation work, if you ask us to do it, is quoted separately once you decide what to tackle.
What's included
The audit identifies and prioritises legal risk; it is not a legal opinion on any single matter and does not guarantee that no risk remains. The commercial decisions are yours. GTC does not provide tax, securities, or investment advice and coordinates the appropriate specialist where a finding turns on those areas.

Why GTC
Entity and corporate housekeeping, contracts, IP ownership, employment, data and privacy, and regulatory exposure — reviewed together, not in silos. A clean cap table means little if your IP was never assigned to the company; we connect those threads rather than checking boxes.
Every audit turns up issues; not all of them matter equally. We score each finding by how much risk it carries and how hard it is to fix, so you spend the next quarter on the things that move the needle, not the cosmetic ones.
Heading into a fundraise or a sale, you face investor or buyer due diligence. We frame the review the way that diligence will, so the gaps surface on your terms — with a plan attached — instead of in a data room under deadline.
We find the issues and tell you what they mean. Where a finding turns on tax, securities, or jurisdiction-specific employment law, we say so plainly and coordinate the right specialist rather than overreaching. The point is clarity, not a false all-clear.

The timeline
Most of the variable is how quickly the documents come in and how complete they are. We sequence the review so a missing item in one area never stalls the rest, and we set expectations on turnaround up front.
We agree the scope and the trigger, then send a structured request list and open a secure data room for you to share corporate records, contracts, IP, employment, and privacy documents.
As materials arrive we work through each of the six areas, logging what is missing, expired, unsigned, or inconsistent, and noting where a commercial decision or specialist is needed.
We compile the findings, rank each by severity and effort, and share a draft report so you can correct any context before the priorities are locked.
You receive the final risk report and remediation roadmap, and we walk through it on a call so the sequence of fixes and any specialist referrals are clear.
In their words
One accountable team across every practice, operating since 2016.
