White & Case was proud to mark Native American History month by hosting a conversation with Justice Shawna Baker, the first two-spirit LGBTQ+ person and the third woman ever confirmed to the Cherokee Nation Supreme Court.

The conversation focused on the Cherokee Freedmen civil rights issue within the Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, Chickasaw, and Seminole Nations—a poignant example of the complexities surrounding race, inequality, and marginalization in the United States.

The event kicked off with opening remarks by New York Associate Gabriella Bensur, followed by closing remarks from Houston Office Manager DeAnna Vaughan.

Our Asia-Pacific offices recently celebrated #PinkFriday in support of LGBTQ+ inclusion in the workplace.

This year, our APAC Spectrum Affinity Network marked the day by launching an APAC LGBTQ+ HeatMap, in collaboration with Deutsche Bank’s APAC Legal Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Council and dbPride, which summarises the rights and restrictions of key issues for LGBTQ+ identifying people across the region. We also took this opportunity to host a discussion on the improvements we’ve seen in LGBTQ+ rights and explore why progress can look staggered.

A huge thanks to our guest speakers for their insights on the challenges and key issues faced by the LGBTQ+ community in Asia-Pacific.

Thank you to all of our colleagues in Asia-Pacific for celebrating #PinkFriday, and for their year-round contributions which make White & Case an inclusive place for everybody!
