The legal profession has markedly improved its record on supporting gay and lesbian staff, further underlining the law’s position as one of the most gay-friendly careers in the UK.
That positive view, at least, is held by senior partners at leading commercial firms, according to the latest Big Question survey, which found that 91% of respondents believed the profession had improved its record on supporting gay staff. That included 19% who said law firms had improved ‘a lot’ over the last five years and 36% who said the situation had improved ‘a fair amount’.
