50 years ago, Peter Goetz and Jerry Fitzpatrick founded Goetz Fitzpatrick and ultimately created the powerhouse in commercial litigation and business law that we are today. Everyone on our team is beyond proud to be a part of this practice, and every day we strive to deepen the strong reputation built by our founding partners. To mark this milestone anniversary, we are excited to announce a rebranding. Our new logo reflects not only on who we are, with the interlocking "GF" b...ut it also nods to our history as a leader in navigating the often maze-like landscape of litigation. But with its sleek design and bright colors, we also intend for this logo to better represent who we are today, and tomorrow as well: a modern, dynamic law firm that is as excited about the future as it is proud of its past. We’ll share more as we continue to reveal elements of the rebranding throughout the year and celebrate this special year for our firm.
