As leader of both the Global LGBTQ+ Lawyers Group and the London office chapter, Danni plays a high-impact role in Latham’s strategic goal of advancing recruitment, retention, and promotion of LGBT+ attorneys. Danni spearheads strategy and programs that foster intersectional community-building, promotes Latham’s broader DEI goals, and identifies pro bono opportunities to aid LGBT+-focused organizations. They also played an instrumental role in producing Latham’s Global 2021 Pride video, which features LGBT+ colleagues sharing personal experiences and firm leaders discussing the importance of allyship to true equality and belonging. Danni works closely with firm leaders to influence policies and benefits to better support LGBT+ colleagues, such as parental leave and adoption benefits, inclusive gender identification in HR systems, formal gender transition guidelines, and a gender-neutral parental leave policy. A cornerstone of Danni’s leadership approach has been to further develop pro bono support for LGBT+ charities, particularly during the pandemic.
