Daisy Reeves

Daisy is one of the most senior ‘out’ gay female lawyers in the UK and is BLP’s International LGBT+ Champion across all of BLP’s overseas offices, driving the LGBT+ agenda globally. She is co-chair of the UK LGBT+ network group, established over a decade ago and spearheaded the award-winning LGBT+ Legal graduate recruitment event, ‘DiversCity’, now in its seventh year and participated by 14 City law firms. She then developed ‘AuthentiCity’ in 2015, a first-of-its-kind cross-sector event for LGBT+ students and apprentices who are interested in a career in the City of London. BLP then partnered with JP Morgan, KPMG, Aviva, M&G and JLL in this, now annual, initiative. Externally, Daisy is a founding ambassador of the ‘LBWomen’ initiative addressing the issue that lesbian and bi women feel far more discriminated against in the workplace than their gay male counterparts. She is also an active Stonewall ambassador, and participates regularly in LGBT+ charity events. She has often been recognised and awarded for her LGBT+ work, and consistently presents and writes articles around LGBT+ matters.
