Pros and cons of working at Gilbert + Tobin
Pros
Exposure to high-profile clients and really brilliant lawyers to learn from.
Working on interesting and challenging projects. Learning from team members. Ability to work on pro bono projects.
Support structures and access to training materials. The people that work at G+T are the best lawyers in the industry and are very invested in the growth of the junior lawyers.
High level of responsibility and self-determination.
The best pay, very nice people, and the opportunity to progress and obtain greater responsibility faster compared to industry standard.
Cons
The hours can be long and client expectations are very high but we achieve incredible outcomes and are very well remunerated.
It's easy to sometimes get swept up in work and lose touch with your personal life.
Sometimes, due to the nature of our work, it can be very stressful - but this is something that applies to all firms.
Inconsistent workflow (may be typical of the legal industry).
Currently, lack of mentorship from senior levels.
