Diversity

Here at GTH we love what we do. And we love where we do it. The diversity of backgrounds, viewpoints, cultures, lifestyles, and experiences makes this community great and we are proud to live and work here. Our firm’s commitment to promoting diversity is reflected in the projects and organizations into which our firm and our members devote their time and energies. Ideals of diversity and inclusivity are only successful if everyone experiences a feeling of belonging. GTH embraces different points of view and encourages everyone at the firm to celebrate who they are. Everyone here belongs. As a firm we try to be conscious of the biases that exist all around us and strive to do more to create a culture of inclusivity, not only in our workplace, but in our surrounding community as well. At GTH we are different, together. We are a stronger firm because each individual contributes their strengths to create a collaborative team effort. When it comes to showing a commitment to diversity, actions speak louder than words. Our attorneys and staff are actively involved in the following organizations through pro bono cooperation, volunteer work, sponsorship, membership, and board leadership. We have been fortunate to have GTH members receiving awards in recognition of their efforts to promote diversity:
