Law Society launches LGBTQ+ workplace survey

The Law Society of England and Wales has launched a survey about LGBTQ+ solicitors’ experiences five years after it first launched its Pride in the Law initiative.

The Pride in the Law 2026 survey will build on the work done to in 2021 to ask LGBTQ+ solicitors and allies to report anonymously and confidentially on their experiences working in the sector.

Law Society president Mark Evans said: “We want to hear from LGBTQ+ solicitors and allies, across all roles, career stages and workplaces. Every perspective matters in building a more inclusive profession.

“It’s particularly important that we hear from previously underrepresented voices, so that we can develop a fuller, more accurate picture.

“We can’t achieve change alone. Progress depends on collective action. We encourage our members across England and Wales to share their experiences and encourage others to take part. This is an opportunity for the profession to drive meaningful, lasting change.”

The Pride in the Law 2026 survey is open now and will close at 11:59pm on Sunday 28 June. All responses are anonymous and confidential.
