Reinventing the Law Firm Model for Modern-Day Families
GLG President & CEO Rebecca Geller started her legal career at a large DC-based law firm. After seeing strong, brilliant, talented women fleeing the profession because senior lawyers showed disrespect for lives outside the firm, Rebecca determined it was time to stop making women fit into work environments traditionally defined by men and founded The Geller Law Group.
Geller Law Group Voted Best Places to Work
Since 2011, The Geller Law Group has grown from one to over 30 lawyers and professional staff and has been recognized on Best Places to Work lists from both Washington Business Journal and Virginia Business for revolutionizing the law firm model by creating an environment where employees can be actively involved parents.
GLG has also been included among a select group of companies recognized by Best Workplaces for Commuters for offering employees exceptional commuter benefits. Even before the pandemic, we set up and allowed our team to work from home, which helped reduce the number of cars on the road and, in turn, overall greenhouse gas emissions, fossil fuel consumption, and energy usage. Additionally, telecommuting makes our employees’ lives easier and more manageable as they meet work and family life challenges.
Firm Culture
The Geller Law Group works in a team and collaborative environment, and we expect our co-workers to strive towards this common goal. We work with all team members to develop their strengths because we believe that, in a collaborative, flexible work environment with stimulating legal work, they will be happiest, ultimately benefiting the firm and its clients.
Our culture also embraces Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. We regularly conduct trainings focused on issues such as sexual harassment, hostile work environment, and racial sensitivity/diversity. Our high retention rate reflects our firm’s commitment to genuinely focusing on our employees’ overall well-being.
Where Partners Can Be Parents
As a founding principle of the firm, we have always encouraged our employees to work from home and build their schedules around the lives of their families and our clients. During the pandemic, our remote work and flexible schedule policies were utilized more than ever, enabling working parents to help their kids with virtual school, take care of their children when childcare wasn’t available, and help older relatives.
Putting Purpose to Work
We also encourage and enable our team to actively support their communities and chosen nonprofits. Giving back gives our employees a sense of pride in their work and a sense of belonging within a firm that truly cares about its community.
We support our employees’ personal interests outside of work through our firm’s donation matching program and regularly buy tickets for them to attend charitable events for causes they support. We’ve donated over $750,000 in money and gift certificates to fundraisers and we provide legal assistance to organizations our team members care about.
An Equal Opportunity Employer
The Geller Law Group provides equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment and prohibits discrimination and harassment of any type without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, disability status, genetics, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state, or local laws.
This policy applies to all terms and conditions of employment, including recruiting, hiring, placement, promotion, termination, layoff, recall, transfer, leaves of absence, compensation, and training.
