Abstract: Gauge-fixing as a sampling procedure of gauge copies provides a possibility to construct well-defined gauges also beyond perturbation theory. The implementation of such sampling strategies in lattice gauge theory is briefly outlined, and examples are given for non-perturbative extensions of the Landau gauge. An appropriate choice of sampling can also introduce non-trivial global symmetries as a remainder of the gauge symmetry. Some examples for this are also given, highlighting their particular advantages.
