Litigation & Disputes

    Resolve the dispute — with the right counsel on it.

    GTC triages your dispute, selects and co-engages specialist litigation counsel in your jurisdiction, and stays the relationship lead through to resolution. We model settlement, mediation, and arbitration before the expensive road — and we don't bill litigation in six-minute increments.

    How it works

    Three stages from first call to resolution.

    1

    Free strategic assessment

    We review the dispute, identify the legal theories, assess strength, and lay out the realistic routes — settlement, mediation, arbitration, or litigation — before any fee.

    2

    Counsel selection & co-engagement

    We recommend two or three specialist firms in your jurisdiction with relevant expertise and transparent fees. You choose; we co-engage and set the budget structure.

    3

    Oversight to resolution

    GTC stays the relationship lead and matter-management point — coordinating the specialist firm, tracking budget, and driving toward the outcome you want.

    How pricing works

    Assessed first, quoted per matter.

    The cost of a dispute depends on the route and the specialist firm — so we start with a free strategic assessment and quote per matter, never a number off a price list. Specialist counsel comes as fixed-fee phases or hourly with stop-loss caps; GTC's own oversight is hourly co-counsel or a flat monthly retainer, both disclosed up front. Court and arbitral fees are passed through at cost.

    First, a free assessment

    We scope the dispute

    Sixty minutes to review the matter, assess strength, and model the realistic routes — settlement, mediation, arbitration, or litigation — at no cost.

    Then, a transparent quote

    Specialist fees, capped

    Specialist counsel fees come as fixed-fee phases or capped hourly, shared up front; GTC's oversight is disclosed separately. No six-minute billing, no surprises.

    Why GTC

    One lead, the right specialists on the matter.

    Specialists do the court work

    You get a court-admitted litigator with an active trial practice in the right jurisdiction — not a generalist learning on your matter. GTC coordinates; specialists litigate.

    Every off-ramp modelled first

    Mediation, arbitration, and settlement are weighed before litigation. We model the cheaper, faster routes and recommend the expensive road only when it's the right one.

    Transparent, capped fees

    Specialist fees come as fixed-fee phases or hourly with stop-loss caps, shared up front. GTC's oversight is hourly co-counsel or a flat monthly retainer — no surprises.

    One relationship lead

    GTC stays the single point of contact across the matter — coordinating counsel, tracking the budget, and keeping the communication clean from first call to resolution.

    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.

    Disputes FAQ

    Frequently asked questions

    No — and that's deliberate. Effective litigation needs court-admitted lawyers in the specific jurisdiction with an active trial practice. GTC's strength is transactional and prosecutorial IP and commercial work, so we coordinate with specialist litigators rather than appearing in court ourselves. You get a specialist on the matter and GTC as the relationship lead overseeing strategy, budget, and communication throughout.
