Event Details

The legal profession comes together in solidarity, celebration and pride!

Taking place at Inner Temple Hall, join us for food and drinks at a landmark cross-profession LGBTQ+ Pride event, jointly hosted by the four Inns of Court, the Bar Council and Law Society of England and Wales. This collaboration marks a continued commitment to inclusivity, visibility and unity across the legal world and will provide an opportunity to connect with colleagues, allies and trailblazers from every corner of the legal profession.

Including addresses from Barbara Mills KC, Chair of the Bar and Inner Temple Bencher, and Ian Jeffery, CEO of The Law Society, and with a special performance by the Pink Singers, Europe’s longest-running LGBTQ+ choir, our event will honour the contributions and resilience of LGBTQ+ people in law and reaffirm our shared commitment to equality and justice.

Whether you’re an LGBTQ+ identifying barrister, judge, solicitor, student, pupil, trainee solicitor or an ally - you belong here.
