When Krishna joined Slaughter and May in 2010, the LGBT network was dormant, and the firm was ranked 315 in the Stonewall index. Ever since taking the lead to organise the network’s very first event in January 2011, Krishna has worked hard to ensure the network’s development and success. Today PRISM is the most active and visible network, Stonewall ranks them at 132. He is developing joint initiatives with the Black and Minority Ethic network, mentors junior LGBT lawyers and students, and actively participates in recruitment events aimed at encouraging applications from LGBT, ethnic minority, and non-traditional background candidates. He is the firm’s key liaison with Interlaw and Stonewall and is a UK board member for GLAAD. He also supports the Terrence Higgins Trust, is a trustee of the charity Paintings in Hospitals and is working with Athlete Ally on an initiative to combat homophobia in football.
