In Law & Equity, Dinsmore’s LGBTQ Affinity group, was created in 2018 to promote, embrace, and support diversity and inclusion within the firm; strengthen connections between Dinsmore and the LGBTQ communities around us; provide resources to foster, enhance and sustain the health and well-being of the firm’s LGBTQ staff and attorneys; and advocate visibility, respect, and equality for all.
The group supports Dinsmore’s broader mission to create an environment where all people are valued, included and empowered to succeed, while also spreading awareness of LGBTQ issues and opportunities for involvement to the firm’s LGBTQ community and its allies. The group hit the ground running with brainstorming sessions to develop a clear and specific mission – an effort the firm’s leadership enthusiastically endorses and supports.
