At GLP Attorneys, we recognize that building strong careers goes hand in hand with our everyday values. Our focus on ongoing learning and development helps our team members grow, take on meaningful challenges, and make an impact both inside and outside the office.

What Makes GLP Attorneys One of the Best Places to Build a Career?
I often tell people I'm not the Director of Learning Development because I'm the most knowledgeable person at this firm, but rather because I grew up here. I have been with GLP Attorneys for over 12 years before I landed in my current role. I was a legal intern, then an associate attorney with a caseload doing the work of legal assistants, paralegals and attorneys.
Because of this experience, I have learned and lived the standard operating procedures and the best practices of GLP Attorneys for the past 12 years. I have had countless opportunities for personal and professional development at this firm, and I want nothing more than to help all of our employees on their path of personal and professional growth. This is the employee experience I get to be a part of. GLP Attorneys wants this amazing employee experience for all of our staff members through programs and tools.
Our learning and development program includes:
- A robust onboarding program for our new team members that continues after Day 1
- Dedicated mentors for all of our employees
- Ongoing internal training programs and series for all professionals
We call our ongoing internal training programs and series GLP University. These learning programs include one-on-one training, written and recorded resources, and best-in-class legal internship and paralegal internship programs and experiences.
GLP University (GLPU)
GLP University (GLPU) is a comprehensive training program available to all professionals at the firm. GLPU offers a variety of presentations annually that provide our attorneys, paralegals, legal assistants, and business professional staff with information about firm culture, processes, best practices, tools, and resources. Presentation topics include, among others:
- Firm Overview, Structure, Vision, and Strategy
- Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
- New Personal Injury Client Intake: What You Need to Know
- Demand Writing
