OUR STORY
Behind The Vision
Big Law Tech Lawyers
Our founders were partners at major law firms such as DLA Piper and Linklaters, and served as Chief Legal Officers in various in-house roles.
Vision For Tech-Enabled Law Firm
As tech law experts, it was frustrating for our founders to be part of a business that resisted embracing technology and innovation.
Founding Of GLS
Our founders started GLS in 2014 as a boutique law firm committed to tech-led efficiency and it worked. We were incredibly busy.
Clients Wanted Access To Our Tech Stack
In response to client demands, we launched the GLS Legal Operations Centre, giving them direct access to the tools and technology we used but they needed.
Becoming An Industry Leader
Today, the GLS Legal Support Centre is the largest and most comprehensive online in-house legal team resource stack.
