Firm Culture

Since its inception in 1866, Gray Plant Mooty and its leaders have recognized that our most valuable resource is our talented and committed team of people. Throughout our halls, impressive resumes abound, but egos do not. We consistently attract and retain the best people because our lawyers, paralegals, and staff know that working together in an open and respectful collaborative environment improves our level of client service and makes our work more enjoyable. A core strength of our law firm is valuing each and every member of the Gray Plant Mooty team and the diverse backgrounds and experiences they bring with them into our offices.

The word is getting out that Gray Plant Mooty is an exceptional place to work. The firm was recognized by the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal as one of Minnesota's “Best Places to Work” in 2009—the only law firm in the state to be honored for seven consecutive years. Gray Plant Mooty also garnered significant attention for its approach to work-life balance when the firm was honored with a Minnesota Work-Life Champions award, and named the Outstanding Employer in the medium size category. Gray Plant Mooty has been recognized two years in a row as one of the nation’s 50 "Best Law Firms for Women” by Working Mother magazine and Flex-Time Lawyers LLC. The Hennepin County Bar Association has also recognized Gray Plant Mooty with the 2008 Diversity Award for a Legal Employer.

More important than the awards, however, is the everyday work experience at Gray Plant Mooty. Our culture encourages collaboration and values every team member's contributions. We provide an environment in which employees have a sense of belonging, provide and receive support, and benefit from an atmosphere of generosity in which all employees, regardless of differences, are respected, encouraged, and enabled to achieve their greatest potential.
