GT's real estate practice is among the largest and most active in the country, and the firm has particular strength in corporate M&A, private equity, intellectual property, litigation, and government law. The firm's entrepreneurial culture means that attorneys are empowered to build their practices with fewer bureaucratic constraints than at traditional firms. GT has been recognized as a BTI Best of the Best Recommended Law Firm for trust and relationship management.
The culture at GT is fast-paced, non-hierarchical, and genuinely entrepreneurial. From its founding, the firm selected lawyers not just on credentials but on cultural fit and collaborative instinct. The result is a firm that feels fundamentally different from legacy Wall Street shops, more dynamic, more diverse, and more responsive to changing market conditions.
GT's summer program recruits broadly and values candidates who bring energy, business sense, and an entrepreneurial mindset. If you want early autonomy and the chance to build something, GT delivers on that promise.
