Estate Planning and Probate

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.

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.
