As factual context: mediation and pre-litigation negotiation are the cheapest; arbitration sits in the middle; litigation through trial is the most expensive, often six figures in specialist-counsel fees. We give you a realistic range for your matter at the assessment, before you decide."

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.

The journey

## From assessment to resolution.

Most disputes resolve long before trial. We model every off-ramp before recommending the expensive road.

1.  Day 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.
    
2.  Weeks 1–2 
    
    ### Counsel selection & engagement
    
    We recommend specialist firms in your jurisdiction with relevant expertise; you choose, we co-engage with transparent, capped fee structures.
    
3.  Months 1–6 
    
    ### Resolution path
    
    Demand letters and negotiation first; mediation or arbitration where they fit; pleadings and motion practice if it proceeds. On fixed-fee phases or capped hourly.
    
4.  Through resolution 
    
    ### Co-counsel oversight
    
    GTC stays the relationship lead. Coordinating the specialist firm, tracking budgets, and driving toward the outcome you want.

Disputes FAQ

## Frequently asked questions

Does GTC litigate in court itself? 

No, and that is deliberate. Effective litigation needs court-admitted attorneys 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.

How does the engagement and fee work? 

Litigation, arbitration, or mediation: which is right?
