Anatomy](/assets/bare-anatomy-CBhgu9Ro.webp "Bare Anatomy")![Freedom](/assets/freedom-confectionery-HioHiGYc.webp "Freedom") How it works ## Three steps to a clean, signed NDA. 1 ### Scoping call 30 minutes to settle the structure. Mutual or one-way, who is disclosing what, how long the term needs to run, and where you would want to enforce. We confirm the scope before any drafting begins. 2 ### Drafting Your NDA is drafted to the specific transaction. The definition of Confidential Information, the carve-outs, the term and survival, and the governing-law clause tuned to your deal. The draft lands in your portal for review within 3 business days. 3 ### Revisions and execution The counterparty marks it up; we turn one round of revisions within the flat fee. Further rounds are quoted in writing before we start. The final executed copy is delivered to your portal and stored against your matter. What it costs ## A flat fee, quoted up front. NDA Drafting is $200. A standard NDA is a flat attorney fee, confirmed in writing before any work begins, no per-hour billing and no quote after the fact. It covers the structure scoped to your deal, a definition of Confidential Information tuned to the transaction, the carve-outs, term and survival, governing law, and one round of counterparty revisions. Multi-party NDAs, industry-specific variants, and a negotiation round where the counterparty holds the draft are quoted by scope upfront. What's included - Mutual vs. one-way structure scoped at intake - Definition of Confidential Information tuned to the specific transaction - Permitted-purpose, residuals, prior-knowledge, and compelled-disclosure carve-outs - Term, survival, and post-termination return-or-destruction clauses - Governing-law and jurisdiction clauses tuned to where you'd enforce - Standard reps, warranties, and remedies, including injunctive relief and attorney's fees - One round of counterparty revisions included; further rounds quoted upfront - Final executed copy delivered to your portal Standard NDA (single transaction) Flat fee, quoted in writing before work begins Multi-party NDA (3+ signatories) Quoted by scope, upfront Industry-specific NDA (biotech, regulated, M&A) Quoted by scope, upfront Negotiation round when the counterparty holds the draft Quoted by scope, upfront The flat fee covers a standard single-transaction NDA with one round of counterparty revisions; multi-party, industry-specific, and counterparty-negotiation work is quoted by scope before it begins. We draft and advise but do not guarantee a court will enforce any particular clause; the commercial terms are yours to decide, and we coordinate local counsel where a jurisdiction-specific question turns on it. Get started ### Draft your NDA Tell us about the parties and what you're protecting, and a GTC attorney will prepare a tailored NDA and confirm a flat-fee quote, no payment, no obligation. No payment required Reply within 1 business day A GTC attorney reviews it & sends a flat-fee quote. 1. 01 Brand details 2. 02 More details 3. 03 Your details The attorney fee is a flat quote confirmed in writing before any work begins, and one round of counterparty revisions is included. Multi-party and industry-specific NDAs are quoted by scope. Brand details 1 Project or Matter Name\* Short label for this NDA (e.g. 'ACME-Vendor Due Diligence NDA'). 2 Type of NDA\* Pick the structure that fits. One-way = only one side discloses. Mutual = both sides share. 3 Parties\* Names + brief description of each party (e.g. 'ACME Inc., a Delaware corp' / 'Jane Smith, individual consultant'). Your side first. 4 Purpose / Context\* What is the information being shared for? (e.g. evaluating a partnership, due diligence, vendor pitch, hiring discussions, M&A exploration). 5 Confidentiality Term\* How long the obligations last. 'Perpetual' = no expiry (typical for trade secrets). BackNext Why GTC ## Why an attorney-drafted NDA holds up where a template doesn't. Legal team GTC's contracts team Commercial counsel Attorney-drafted ### Confidential Information defined to your deal The definition is the heart of an NDA. We tune it to what you are protecting. Written materials, oral disclosures, samples, source code. Rather than the vague boilerplate a template ships with, which is what tends to give a counterparty room to argue later. ### Carve-outs drafted on purpose Residuals, prior knowledge, independently developed information, and compelled disclosure each shift the balance between discloser and receiver. We draft each carve-out deliberately and tell you which side a given clause favours, so you decide the commercial terms with the trade-offs in front of you. ### Term and survival set to the information How long the obligation runs, and how long it survives termination, depends on what is being protected, a 2-to-5-year term suits most deals, while trade secrets can warrant perpetual obligations. We set the term and survival to the information rather than to a default number. ### Governing law tuned to where you'd enforce An NDA you can't practically enforce is paper. For US or cross-border deals we set the governing-law and jurisdiction clauses to where enforcement would realistically happen, and we coordinate local counsel where a jurisdiction-specific question turns on it. 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. ![Your dedicated GTC Customer Success Team](/assets/m-onboarding-bright-welcome-C-heDolY.jpg) How we compare ## Weighing how to get your NDA drafted?

If both parties will disclose confidential information. Typical for partnerships, M&A discussions, and joint ventures. Use a mutual NDA. If only one party is disclosing. Typical for hiring a contractor or pitching an investor, a one-way NDA fits. When you are uncertain, mutual is the safer default: it costs the same here and a court tends to treat a balanced agreement as more reasonable. How long should an NDA last? What's a 'residuals' clause, and do I want one? Can you handle a multi-party or industry-specific NDA? The other side sent me their NDA. Can you review that instead? Does GTC guarantee the NDA will hold up in court? [Draft Your NDA](/forms/catalog/business-counsel/contract-nda?ref=b2c) Related contracts services ## Papering the rest of the deal.
