How it works
Three steps to legal diligence
2
Document collection and review
We review the data room, or set it up for sell-side. Each workstream — corporate, IP, contracts, employment, regulatory, litigation — is reviewed by the right specialist.
3
Red-flag report and management call
A written report lands in your portal: red-flag summary, full findings by workstream, and recommendations. A 90-minute call walks you and your deal team through it.
What it costs
Pricing scoped to your deal

Why GTC
Why teams run diligence with GTC
Legal team
GTC's corporate team
Corporate & M&A counsel
Attorney-led
One coordinated report
Corporate, IP, contracts, employment, regulatory, and litigation reviewed together, then delivered as a single red-flag summary with full findings by workstream.
Red flags surfaced early
Material issues come to you the moment we find them, not at the end. You can resolve, re-price, or walk away before the deal hardens.
Attorney-led, deal-aware
Findings are risk-graded to inform purchase-price adjustments, indemnity scope, and conditions precedent — the levers your deal counsel uses.
Fits your other workstreams
Legal diligence sits alongside financial, tax, and technical streams. We coordinate with the other providers and integrate our output into the overall report.
Your Customer Success Team
A dedicated team that owns your matter from start to finish.
Every GTC client gets a dedicated Account Manager and a Senior Account Manager who learn your business and stay with you from first email to final filing. They are named people who pick up the phone and already know your matter, so every step moves forward without delay.
Your Account Manager
Your day-to-day point of contact, who coordinates every matter, keeps things moving, and already knows your file. They have your full history, so you start every conversation where the last one left off.
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.
