Pride in the law: experiences of the LGBT+ community within the legal profession

During LGBT+ History Month 2021, LGBT+ legal professionals and colleagues who consider themselves allies to the LGBT+ community, were invited by the national Law Society to take part in an online survey about their experiences of being LGBT+ or an ally in the legal sector. There were 617 individual responses to the survey, with 62% identifying as LGBT+.

The report, which can be found here, looks at the following areas:

• Workplace experiences
• Pressing issues in the workplace
• The LGBT+ experience of COVID-19
• Factors creating a supportive environment
• Experience of homophobia, biphobia or transphobia
• Allies
• Networks
