As part of Pride season, we are running a series of short podcasts providing an insight into the lives and experiences of LGBT+ leaders. These exceptional individuals come from a diverse range of backgrounds and will be sharing with listeners their experiences of LGBT+ inclusion in their respective industries, and also some ideas on what more allies can do to promote LGBT+ equality.
In the first of this series, David Bufton, a Knowledge Lawyer in our Disputes practice, speaks with D&I specialist Leng Montgomery. This honest and open conversation explores Leng's journey towards becoming his authentic self, trans masculine identities, and the importance of trans representation and role models.
