LIFE AT GSI
Teamwork and Cooperation
GSI’s commitment to its clients is demonstrated daily through our attorneys’ active problem-solving and solution-driven analysis. Our lawyers work together to ensure that every client issue is thoroughly resolved, focusing on how to best address clients’ needs, and always listening to and considering colleagues’ creative and innovative suggestions.
While I believe that many firms offer distinguished, sophisticated assignments or an open, collegial office culture, GSI Meridian is one of the few firms that offers both. Our lawyers have the opportunity to work with exciting clients on their most complex issues and to do so in a friendly and respectful atmosphere in which cooperation is paramount.
We understand that our attorneys are our most important asset, and we encourage them to build their skills in several ways. We have training programs on recent legal developments from theoretical and practical perspectives, as well as seminars aimed to develop their professional skills. Our attorneys are also encouraged to do research and contribute to our periodicals. This is a place where bright attorneys can grow to reach their potential and their contributions are truly recognized.

Challenging but Comfortable
I started at GSI Meridian as an intern and I am now one of the associates. Since I started, GSI has gradually but considerably expanded and grown. The best part about working at GSI is that, on the one hand, it is a very dynamic, challenging and even competitive workplace, but at the same time, it is an equally engaging and comfortable place to work at, because even if there is seniority in the firm at the professional level, on a personal level everybody works with a great respect for each other.

Development and Training
GSI Meridian’s steady expansion and increasing presence in the market gives our attorneys the chance to grow with the company, with increases in responsibility and internal promotions that match their developing skills. The partners are open-minded and forward-thinking people who do whatever they can to train their associates and interns, assess their problems quickly and solve them precisely. They give people responsibility regardless of their position or seniority, behave fairly and reward them according to their merits. There is no room for complacency; the expectations are high and we constantly strengthen our abilities as we rise to meet them.

Work Satisfaction
At the beginning of my career, a trusted mentor told me that job satisfaction has more to do with the people you work for than to the actual tasks you perform each day. GSI Meridian exemplifies that wise advice. Our firm works for sophisticated and intelligent clients. We work with partners, associates and support staff who treat each other as well as you would treat your best client. I am being mentored by excellent attorneys and I try to emulate the partners at our firm, who are tough advocates, but true professionals.
