Reflective of London’s multifaceted business community, our client base is varied across many sectors, including life sciences, automotive, real estate, financial services, retail, sports, media, and communications.

Our commitment to building long-term relationships with clients as well as establishing new ones has led to the office being consistently recognised by leading legal directories, including Chambers & Partners and Legal 500. We were awarded Best Client Service at both The Lawyer Awards 2025 and The Lawyer European Awards 2025.

In addition, creating a diverse and inclusive work culture that offers our employees the opportunity and support they need to succeed is a core value for us at GT.
