The Law Society marched with the Bar Council at London Pride on Saturday to celebrate and advocate for LGBTQ+ lawyers.

In a joint statement, Law Society president Lubna Shuja and Bar Council chair Nick Vineall KC said:

'Like all lawyers, LGBTQ+ lawyers play an important role in upholding the rule of law, helping shape the justice system and fighting for their clients’ rights. However, we know the fight is not over and LGBTQ+ lawyers’ experiences must be improved.

'We will continue to get a greater understanding of the experiences of LGBTQ+ lawyers and work in partnership to remove barriers to inclusion.'

They marched under the banner: ‘Fighting for equality under the rule of law’.

'We are proud to carry this message and will do so throughout this year and beyond.'
