Pride Perspectives: ‘We need more queer managing partners’

Speaking about what more the sector can do to include people from the LGBTQ+ community and provide support, Patrick said: " Actively reach out to recruit (I founded DiversCity, City Century and Queer City Law Career very much with this in mind). Bring queer people into work, be interested in us, promote us (especially into C-suite roles where we are noticeably absent) and support queer charities and the like. In work, mentoring programmes and development programmes like The LLP help. Stay ahead of legal developments, reach out to impacted colleagues (trans and non-binary people in particular), enjoy difference, stay visible in your support."
