Associate
K&L Gates LLP
Aritha has been an enormously successful campaigner for LGBT inclusion in his career so far. During his two and a half years as Chair of Arcus (Clifford Chance’s LGBT network), he pursued the expansion of Arcus Global throughout the firm’s international offices, leading to a rapid increase in membership. Now with K&L Gates, Aritha was immediately elected into the firm’s Diversity Committee, and has been involved in organising talks and workshops on LGBT inclusion and assisting in mentoring junior and future associates and trainees as one of the firm's Diversity Champions. He has also been instrumental in leading a number of LGBT pro bono matters both at K&L Gates and Clifford Chance and in coordinating a panel with representatives from the UN, World Bank and other institutions, to advise on creating a global, mandatory curriculum to teach equality to children in schools.
