Three law firms have broken into the top ten for the first time in this year’s list of the 100 leading UK employers for lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) staff by charity Stonewall as client pressure for more diverse lawyers rises.
Baker & McKenzie reached sixth place, the highest ever ranking attained by a law firm, compared to nineteenth in 2014. It entered the top 100 for the first time in 2011. Pinsent Masons and Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer were tied in ninth place, rising from 66th and 45th respectively.
