LGBT Initiatives

Mayer Brown is committed to providing a thriving workplace for LGBT lawyers. We have provisions for same gender relationships in our domestic partner benefits program. We provide pro bono legal service for a number of LGBT-focused organizations as well as support for their organizational events. We participate annually in the Lavender Law Career Fair in order to increase the number of LGBT law student applicants to our summer associate program. The Committee on Diversity and Inclusion includes LGBT partners who monitor and push for progress in this important area. 

Highlights and Achievements regarding LGBT rights issues at Mayer Brown include:

  • Mary Richardson-Lowry, Chicago Partner, is Vice Chairwoman of the Board of Directors of AIDSCare, which provides supportive living services for men, women and children living with HIV and AIDS.

  • We support the Lambda Liberty Awards Banquet, which gives recognition to significant LGBT corporate initiatives.
