GT is the only AmLaw 100 Top 20 firm with a Hispanic or African-American president or CEO. We are also one of the first AmLaw Top 20 firms to have a woman chair its national litigation practice.
For us, diversity is also about taking action – opening doors for lawyers. We played a pivotal role in the landmark Supreme Court decision reaffirming the constitutionality of affirmative action programs in higher education through our amicus curiae brief. In addition, our firm leadership lobbied with other community leaders to achieve the creation of diversity-minded law schools at Florida International University and Florida A&M.
Helping today’s lawyers become tomorrow’s business and legal leaders means a larger, more diverse marketplace and a greater pool of talented professionals. And that means more business opportunities for everyone – our firm, our colleagues and, most importantly, our clients.
