LGBT Community

An inclusive community is true to life.

Recognizing the value of the broadest definition of diversity, we actively recruit attorneys who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. All Goodwin Procter attorneys benefit from our commitment to merit-based, individually-tailored professional development and career advancement programs.

The firm supports the ACLU/LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) & AIDS Project’s annual summer reception in New York. Founded in 1986, the LGBT & AIDS Project fights discrimination and moves public opinion on LGBT rights through the courts, legislatures and public education. Recently, we hosted an attorney from the ACLU/LGBT & AIDS project who addressed our attorneys and summer associates on "The Changing Face of the HIV Epidemic: Where Are We Now?"

We are a sponsor of The National Lesbian and Gay Law Association (NLGLA) Conference. NLGLA is a national association of lawyers, judges and other legal professionals, law students, activists, and affiliated lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender legal organizations. NLGLA promotes justice in and through the legal profession for the LGBT community.
