Dentons, the global law firm, today announced the launch of the Dentons Global LGBT+ Network, a firmwide group dedicated to connecting lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, nonbinary, queer and questioning colleagues, as well as their allies.  The Global LGBT+ network will encompass all the regions of the Firm, and will supplement existing regional affinity groups.

Dentons Global LGBT+ Network will provide support throughout the Firm and promote cooperation between local LGBT+ employee network groups. The network also increases the visibility of issues affecting LGBT+ colleagues, while providing a means to explore new business opportunities with clients.  

"Our Firm was founded on principles of diversity and our unwavering commitment to diversity and inclusion is a key component of our success," said Elliott Portnoy, Global CEO. "The network is an exciting resource that will aid in connecting LGBT+ colleagues and their allies."

The group was created to emphasize to Dentons LGBT+ colleagues: "You're not alone." Furthermore, the group will raise awareness and assist in educating different regions about local customs and cultures.
