Giving visibility and support to the LGBTQIA+ community

Mishcon de Reya has an active Pride Network which is made up of individuals from across the firm as well as clients and contacts.

The Network provides opportunities for LGBTQIA+ people and allies to network, cross-refer, and provide mutual support, as well as collaborate on a variety of initiatives and events.

Organised by our Pride Steering Committee, the Network aims to promote and support the LGBTQIA+ community both inside and outside of the Firm.

To join or learn more about the Pride Network, get in touch with our Committee Co-Chairs below.

Services for the LGBTQIA+ community 

More than a decade ago, we launched Pink Law in conjunction with the Legal Advice Centre of the School of Law at Queen Mary, University of London. This service offers advice to clients on legal issues including discrimination, civil partnership formation and dissolution, cohabitation, immigration, wills and probate, and hate crime.

A heritage of championing equality 

We have long been committed to ensuring and promoting equality and diversity.

It has now been 75 years since our founder Lord Mishcon sat on the Wolfenden Committee, that in 1957 recommended homosexual behaviour between consenting adults in private no longer be a criminal offence.

Its recommendations eventually led to the Sexual Offences Act 1967, which partially decriminalised homosexuality.
