Built to Be Different
GTC is a tech law firm.
GTC has focus—we are not everything to everyone.
GTC’s founders left Big Law to create a nimble firm that replaces size with focus. GTC provides only those services that it can deliver at the highest levels of expertise and efficiency. The two go hand in hand: deep expertise drives efficiency, and efficiency sharpens expertise. We trim our team sizes to best fit each client’s needs, delivering quick and clear results that achieve each client’s goals. We are uniquely capable of bringing an unparalleled level of excellence to these matters, which is why many of our clients insist on our involvement as specialty counsel, even as co-counsel with Big Law handling aspects outside our practice

How We Think
Clients at Every Stage
From first patent filing to final exit—and the critical decision points in between—we help innovation-driven companies preserve business momentum in the face of legal complexity. GTC works with entrepreneurs, investors, and global teams to shape IP strategy, close deals, and build the legal backbone that creates and protects long-term value.
Say “Yes”
It is easy to simply tell you what is risky. But we don’t view our role as shutting down ideas—it’s to help shape them. We work closely with clients to understand the full picture, identify smart tradeoffs, and chart a path forward that aligns with both risk tolerance and business goals. We help you get to a strategic and informed “yes”—grounded in insight, not hesitation.
Real, Experience, Driving Real Value
We’ve been in the room—as in-house counsel, product leaders, and investors. We’ve managed legal budgets, worked inside startups, and scaled companies. Our firsthand perspective drives practical, credible, and business-savvy advice, always grounded in business realities. Whether shaping IP strategy or negotiating commercial terms, we don’t just check boxes. We build solutions to propel clients forward.
Immersive
We don’t just do the thing you asked us to do. We embed ourselves in your technology, your goals, and your market to craft legal solutions that drive outcomes, not simply address risks. We go deep into the various aspects of your technology, and we develop an understanding of how each element of your technology relates to your business goals. Our work is tailored to your needs and goals.
Integrated, Cross Functional
We collaborate cross-practice continuously. We know what acquirers and investors value and avoid, which, for example, informs the patent portfolios we build and the contracts we draft. Our deep experience building strategic patent portfolios enables us to evaluate the portfolios that our clients want to acquire or invest in. This cross-pollination results in stronger outcomes. Clients benefit from a connected strategy that anticipates downstream impact and builds smarter solutions from the start.
Freedom to Access Exceptional Talent Nationwide
Our distributed model expands access to exceptional talent and builds flexibility into our client service. While other firms struggle to work in a remote/distributed model, we’ve been operating this way since our inception, long before it became the norm. We have already created a culture of accountability and success—we’re not trying to recreate one that was developed inside a building.
Culture with Substance
Our culture values real people doing real work. We bring our full selves to the table—as thinkers, collaborators, and problem-solvers. By creating space for people to be who they are, we attract talent that’s not only smart but genuinely invested in the success of our clients and each other.
The GTC Advantage
Whether it is a strategically-built patent portfolio that drives value in your business, or the early identification and mitigation of risks to your intellectual property, we can be our client’s secret weapon to gain a business advantage in a transaction or over a competitor. Our senior people remain involved and don’t just hand off matters to inexperienced junior people; no engagement partner disappearing acts.
