At GTLawyers, we believe our role goes far beyond the legal sphere.
We are actively committed to promoting actions that contribute to a fairer and more sustainable society, integrating social and environmental responsibility into the core of our culture and daily practices.
Our commitment is reflected through four essential pillars:
1. Pro Bono
For us, justice is a fundamental right that should be accessible to everyone. As such, GTLawyers is proud to contribute to pro bono initiatives that have a positive impact on our community.
- Legal assistance for public health initiatives ("Jornada da Saúde")
We provide legal expertise to accompany "Jornada da Saúde," a university-led project promoting health and well-being in underserved communities. - Support to São Paulo Accueil’s legal committee:
São Paulo Accueil, an association dedicated to welcoming French‑speaking expatriates, benefits from GTLawyers’ legal support through its specialized committee. This includes assistance to the tax committee, focused on helping expatriate families integrate socially, as well as charitable initiatives such as educational support for children and fundraising events. - Active involvement with the association “La Bienfaisance”:
Tamy Tanzilli, our founding partner, serves as Legal Director of “La Bienfaisance.” This French non‑profit organization is dedicated to providing social assistance and support to people in vulnerable situations in the São Paulo region, while fostering solidarity within the local French community. - Leadership in business communities:
Tamy also serves as SME Director at the France‑Brazil Chamber of Commerce (CCIFB) in São Paulo, reinforcing our commitment to both local and international communities. In addition, Cécile Rysman holds the position of Legal Director at the Belgium‑Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce in Brazil.
2. Volunteering
Volunteering and support for local orphanages:
Our teams are actively involved with Lar Batista through concrete, transformative initiatives. We organize drives to collect clothing and essential items, and we hold events that bring moments of joy and solidarity to the children, strengthening a sense of care and support.
Charity work with the Exercito da Salvação
GTLawyers supports this initiative by donating clothing and electronic equipment, contributing to reuse and assisting people in vulnerable situations.
These commitments reflect our mission: to use our capabilities and resources to give real meaning to justice by positively impacting the lives of those around us.
3. Diversity and inclusion
Diversity and inclusion are foundational pillars guiding our actions at GTLawyers. We know that by fostering an environment in which everyone feels valued, we achieve true excellence. Among our initiatives:
Female leadership:
More than 60% of leadership positions at GTLawyers are held by talented women. We strongly believe in equity and in the pivotal role of women in transforming our sector and society.
Monthly Pet Day:
Once a month, our offices welcome our colleagues and their pets. This initiative fosters a welcoming work environment and supports everyone’s physical and emotional well‑being.
4. Eco‑friendly practices
We have adopted several measures to reduce our environmental footprint, including:
- eliminating plastics in our offices;
- using recycled paper in our daily practices.
We also host “Green Day” (Dia Verde), a special event that mobilizes our entire team around a vital cause: environmental preservation. On that occasion, we planted 45 native trees on a rural property in Itu. More than a symbolic gesture, this initiative raised our team’s awareness of the importance of reforestation and the positive impact each of us can generate in protecting our ecosystem.
A commitment to a future‑oriented culture
At GTLawyers, we understand that diversity, inclusion and sustainability are not passing trends, but necessities for building a better future. Together, we put into practice actions that go beyond the legal sphere, making us engaged agents for a society in which everyone can fully thrive.
