About Us
Who We Are
We are a group of independent lawyers and law firms sharing a common set of professional values who have teamed together with the goal of providing legal representation of exceptional quality over a wide range of practice areas.
Lawyers by nature are independent creatures. Our practice model, inspired by the centuries-old institution of “barristers’ chambers” in England, serves as a platform for our members to harness the synergies and benefits of working together as a close-knit group, while at the same time maintaining separate practices with the freedom and inspiration that independence brings.


Our Values
At GLC, we believe that achieving excellence in the practice of law – our ultimate goal – boils down to a few fundamental precepts:
- Intellectual Rigour: We approach every legal problem with thorough and precise analysis.
- Active Engagement: We prioritize effective two-way communication with our clients throughout the entire process.
- Goal-Driven Planning: Our strategies are built upon a clear understanding of our clients’ objectives and priorities.
- Financial Sensitivity: We tailor our work to align with our clients’ financial means.
- Creativity and Detail: We emphasize creativity, close attention to detail, and passionate advocacy both inside and outside the courtroom.
- Respectful Relationships: Patience, open-mindedness, and respect are the cornerstones of our client relationships.
- Integrity: We maintain the highest standards of integrity in our dealings with clients, opponents, and all other parties.
Holding to these values, we strive to provide exceptional legal services and build lasting, trust-based relationships with our clients.
Our Philosophy
At GLC, we understand that litigation can be a highly stressful, frustrating and worrying experience. From a client’s perspective, legal problems can feel like a confusing maze where the guiding hand of a skilled professional is often needed in navigating through it. Our role as legal counsel is to chart a clear path toward a successful resolution, demonstrating focus, creativity and passion in pursuing that path.
At GLC, we view litigation as a necessary means to achieving our clients’ objectives, not as an end in itself. With this understanding at the forefront, we strive to keep an open mind and actively seek creative and alternative solutions whenever they present themselves.
