When a gender-transitioning employee of Access Health Care Physicians LLC began showing up for work dressed as a male on certain days and a female on others, management asked in-house counsel Bradley Brown for advice.

Brown said in an email to CorpCounsel.com, an affiliate of the Connecticut Law Tribune, that Access Health is a diverse and welcoming employer, and it didn’t have to go to great lengths to prepare for the employee’s transition. But the situation was still somewhat unexpected, and as in-house counsel he wanted to make sure he wasn’t overlooking any potential legal issues.
