GT’s growth to 1775 lawyers and more than 30 locations is an example of the firm’s instincts for leveraging a changing marketplace. The need for lawyers to help clients navigate change continues to escalate. For GT, merging with other law firms to be in new markets overnight is not the way to respond to the market need. Preserving the firm’s “built for change” culture is. GT leaders travel across the country handpicking lawyers with the talents to guide clients through the very moments their businesses and markets are changing most. It is this rare combination of talents around which we relentlessly hire at GT – legal, business and leadership skills. That’s why we refer to GT lawyers as "3-D lawyers." Every day our clients are bombarded by unexpected market forces — new products, the latest technologies and ups and downs in the financial markets. They accept and live with those pressures. We believe that the law firms that represent them must do so too. At GT the ability to help clients navigate change is what drives our choices — from how we run our business to the talent we hire and the technology we leverage.
