Legal practitioners at Lewis Brisbois uniquely position the organization as one of the significant drivers of diversity and inclusion in the legal practice sector. In the LGBTQ pride month (June), Lewis Brisbois celebrated LGBTQ colleagues who had been treated objectively regardless of their sexual orientation. In each day of pride month, Lewis Brisbois shares testimony from a randomly chosen LGBTQ member in a spotlight series.


The Lewis Brisbois 2022 LGBT pride month celebration featured testimony from the Chicago Conflicts Analyst, Neal Darrah, who came out as a trans person with a new name and pronoun set. Neal Darrah is delighted by the support he received from his colleagues at Lewis Brisbois, who took their time to address him with the new set of pronouns in a way that he describes as “amazing.” Neal Darrah has been a member of Lewis Brisbois for more than three years.
