Diversity DRIVES GT
At GT, we appreciate all backgrounds and characteristics, including race, national origin, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability, age, varying perspectives, socio-economic statuses, and others.
Our powerful combination of intersecting, strategic elements help GT drive inclusion because it makes diversity and inclusion both a firm priority and an individual priority.
- COMMITTED FIRM LEADERSHIP Experienced decision-makers authentically committed to creating and driving change.
- INDIVIDUAL COMMITMENT Those responsible for hiring, development, retention, and promotion have a personal obligation to diversity.
- DEDICATED TRAINING Diversity training and awareness are a priority for every member of our team throughout our entire operations and legal business units.
- ACTIONABLE SHORT-TERM GOALS DRIVING LONG-TERM CHANGE Setting short-term goals becomes more realistically achievable with our holistic approach involving commitments from leadership, individuals, and bringing awareness to every level of the firm.
GT Diversity MOVES Forward
Diversity, equity, and inclusion move forward with future leaders and clients. Changing workforce demographics bode well for diversity and inclusion.

We always have and always will work to push the needle forward in the name of equity.

GT put diversity into action and as a result, we have been honored with Mansfield Rule 3.0 Certification.
The Mansfield Rule 3.0 Certification, administered by The Diversity Lab, is designed to help law firms become more inclusive and diverse by requiring them to consider at least 30% women, attorneys of color, LGBTQ+ lawyers, and those with disabilities for leadership and governance roles, equity partner promotions, formal client pitch opportunities, and senior lateral positions. Over the course of the certification period (July 2019 – July 2020), we showed that we did just that, and we are committed to achieving and exceeding the Mansfield Rule Certification standards in each year to come.
