GTC carries the transaction end-to-end. We advise on deal structure, draft the LOI or term sheet, run legal due diligence, and prepare the definitive agreements — the SPA, APA, or merger agreement — through signing and closing. Buy-side or sell-side. Specialist tax and sector-regulatory points are coordinated where a deal calls for them; the core drafting and advisory is our own work. The commercial terms, and whether to do the deal, stay your call.

How it works
We lock the commercial structure in a tight 5-to-10-page LOI or term sheet: purchase price, deal structure (stock, asset, or merger), conditions, and exclusivity. Drafted by us, or reviewed if the counterparty holds the pen. Typically 1 to 3 weeks.
Legal due diligence and the definitive agreement run concurrently. We review corporate, IP, material contracts, employment, and regulatory matters, then draft the SPA, APA, or merger agreement to the LOI, with disclosure schedules and ancillary documents. Typically 4 to 8 weeks for a standard mid-market deal.
Conditions precedent are satisfied — regulatory, financing, and board approvals — and closing deliverables, escrow, and wires are exchanged. We then manage holdback releases and the post-closing indemnity period.
What it costs
M&A Legal Support starts from $5,000. Every transaction is quoted per deal after a free scoping call, and the fee scales with deal size, structure, and the number of jurisdictions involved. GTC's own fee for the support renders as the live anchor above and is confirmed in writing before work begins. Government, registration, and filing fees — and any specialist tax or regulatory counsel we coordinate — are disclosed and passed through at cost.
What's included

Why GTC
We draft the LOI, the definitive agreement, and the disclosure schedules ourselves. Specialist tax and sector-regulatory points are coordinated where a deal needs them, but the transaction documents are GTC's work, not a referral.
Stock, asset, or merger each carries different liability, tax, and consent consequences. We walk through the trade-offs on the LOI call so the structure fits the deal — and so the reps, indemnity, and cap reflect it.
The risk lives in the diligence you skip, the reps you do not negotiate, and the indemnity you do not cap. Legal due diligence surfaces it before signing, and the definitive agreement allocates it where it belongs.
For deals touching India, the UAE, Singapore, the US, and beyond, we coordinate local counsel in the relevant jurisdiction and keep one relationship lead across the transaction. Specialist regulatory advice is brought in where a sector requires it.
