Welcome to GSRM Law: Nashville Lawyers

Located in Nashville, Tennessee, the law firm of Gullett Sanford Robinson & Martin PLLC (GSRM Law) provides its clients with a team of 29 lawyers who collaborate across legal disciplines to serve a wide array of needs for businesses and individual clients in Nashville, the state of Tennessee, and across the country. GSRM Law is a reliable partner for navigating the intricacies of the legal system — offering legal advice, personalized attention, and steadfast representation.

The firm has succeeded for more than 80 years because it has remained committed to its approach, its attorneys and employees, and its values.

Practice Areas

GSRM Law attorneys routinely engage in matters involving litigation, business and commercial transactions, issues involving employers and employees, insolvency proceedings, estate planning and probate, real property transactions, family law, and tax planning, among other matters. GSRM’s main practice areas are highlighted below.

Bankruptcy, Restructuring and Insolvency

GSRM lawyers are known across Tennessee as leaders in the representation of commercial entities and business owners facing economic crises. The firm serves clients on all sides of controversy involving a troubled business, and our experience includes bankruptcy and reorganization, workouts and turnarounds, creditors’ rights and remedies, debtor-in-possession matters, bankruptcy litigation and state and federal receiverships.

Business and Corporate

At GSRM’s headquarters in Nashville, our team of lawyers advises clients in all aspects of commercial dealings, ranging from organizing business entities, handling mergers, acquisitions and dispositions — to structuring commercial transactions, drafting employment contracts, and counseling clients on matters relating to real property. GSRM attorneys consistently provide a combination of legal savvy and business know how to individuals, entrepreneurs, mid-market companies, business entities and family and closely held enterprises.

Business Succession

GSRM Law will help you map out the future of your company. We believe business succession planning with help from our Nashville attorneys is a strategic investment that advances the sustainability and growth of privately held and family-owned businesses. Our team is known for succession plans that minimize disruptions to company operations, maximize tax advantages, and assuage potential conflict among family members.

Estate Planning and Probate

Estate matters are highly personal.  Estate law involves some of the things which are held most dear in life — health, family and property. The firm represents individuals and families, fiduciaries and businesses in all types of estate matters. GSRM’s areas of experience include estate planning, estate and trust administration, conservatorships, and estate related litigation.

Family Law

The Family Law Practice Group offers the Nashville area a comprehensive range of family law services from advice and counseling on the most sophisticated and complex business and legal issues to negotiating agreements, mediating disputes, and litigation including premarital and postnuptial agreements, domestic partnership agreements, marital dissolution agreements, divorce and separation, property and debt division, juvenile court matters, parentage, child custody and support, spousal support, and collaborative law.

Labor and Employment

GSRM Labor and Employment attorneys represent clients in all areas of employment law and in a variety of sectors including government, non-profits, and business throughout Tennessee and across the country. Our lawyers in Nashville have experience that ranges from the creation of sound employment policies and procedures designed to mitigate potential disputes, to the defense of complex class action lawsuits.

Litigation

For decades, business owners and entrepreneurs have turned to GSRM’s lawyers in Nashville, not only for courtroom results, but also for innovative strategies that advance business interests, protect client holdings and block potential loss. Our goal is to achieve the best possible outcome for our clients. At times, this means negotiating a resolution outside of court. Other circumstances demand complex, persistent litigation, trial or appellate counsel.

Mediation

Mediation allows those involved in a dispute to resolve the dispute themselves and eliminate the uncertainty of having the matter decided in court.  A mediator, who manages the process and remains impartial, works with all parties until an agreement is reached that is acceptable to everyone. GSRM Law has six attorneys certified as Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 31 Mediators to assist with the settlement of disputes through the mediation process.

Real Estate

Whether a client needs to negotiate terms of a lease or purchase agreement, secure satisfactory and adequate financing, comply with development rules and regulations, or resolve survey and title issues, GSRM attorneys provide thoughtful and practical legal counsel. GSRM assists buyers, sellers, lenders, landlords and tenants on all real estate matters around the Nashville area, including litigation and dispute resolution, acquisition and sale, leasing and development, borrowing, lending and RESPA, bankruptcy and reorganization, and zoning and land use planning.

Tax Planning

GSRM attorneys help clients to minimize employment taxes and the taxation of their business and personal income while efficiently complying with federal and state tax reporting and payment requirements. GSRM attorneys provide federal and state tax services to large and small businesses, nonprofit organizations and individuals seeking to protect and preserve important assets and income streams.
