The Law Society’s Diversity and Inclusion Committee invites you to attend a special webcast celebrating the third anniversary of marriage equality.

We are bringing together a diverse panel of speakers with lived experience in the LGBTQI+ space. Join us as they share the roles they have played in creating marriage equality, the path taken in reaching such an historic outcome, and discuss what can still be done to improve the profession and continue to advocate progress.

Panellists:

Tiernan Brady, Global Director of Inclusion, Clifford Chance and former Executive Director of The Equality Campaign and Political Director of Yes Equality, the successful Irish referendum campaign for marriage equality which saw Ireland become the first country in the world to introduce marriage equality by a public vote. He subsequently became the Executive Director of The Equality Campaign, the successful Australian public vote campaign for marriage equality.
