OUR DIFFERENCE
We value people, their ideas, and their aspirations. See how we represent what matters.

Culture & Experience
We don't just watch the industry accelerate, expand, and evolve—we are at the center of it. Our culture is fueled by the same spirit of innovation our clients share. We’re on a continual quest to work smarter and build an inclusive, collaborative workplace where people can find professional and personal fulfillment.
We believe people can come together to help change the trajectory of emerging tech. So, we built a different type of workplace. Most of our employees say Gunderson Dettmer feels more like a community than a firm. Here you’ll find a casual open-doors working environment and a no-hierarchy team approach that reflects our cultural commitment to celebrating individual contributions, team success, and industry innovation. This ethos extends to our offices, which are thoughtfully designed to facilitate a better working experience. Many of them include a range of on-site fitness centers, recreation areas, vibrant community spaces, and convenient culinary amenities like catered meals and complimentary snack bars.

Diversity & Inclusion
At Gunderson Dettmer, we believe everyone deserves an inclusive work environment where they can thrive, individually and as a team member. Through our commitment to diversity and inclusion (D&I), we actively recruit, retain, and promote professionals from diverse backgrounds, experiences, and beliefs. We know that embracing varied perspectives and championing our differences is the best way to foster an atmosphere of respect and appreciation.
Our trust and collaborative spirit enable our teams to provide innovative legal solutions and address the broader challenges of diversity in our industry. From our D&I Committee to Affinity Groups and ongoing Mentorship & Development Programs, we are continuously cultivating a culture where everyone can feel a sense of belonging.

Community Impact
At Gunderson Dettmer, we place an enormous emphasis on community—building strong connections within our organization and actively engaging with the communities around us. Internally, our affinity groups sponsor various events such as employee dinners, game nights, and global heritage month celebrations, fostering meaningful relationships.
Externally, we’re committed to making a positive impact through partnerships, sponsorships, and community outreach efforts. From volunteering with non-profit organizations to investing in our Pro Bono Program, we strive to give back to the communities we serve and make a lasting impact together.
