The LGBT Bar Announces 2020's Best LGBTQ+ Lawyers Under 40
Washington D.C. – Each year, the National LGBT Bar Association recognizes LGBTQ+ legal professionals (practicing lawyers, law professors, corporate counsel, members of the judiciary, politicians, etc.) under the age of 40 who have distinguished themselves in their field and have demonstrated a profound commitment to LGBTQ+ equality.
Awardees will be recognized during a special awards lunch at the 2020 Lavender Law® Conference and Career Fair in Washington, DC.
2020 was a highly competitive year for this award, with nearly 90 nominations for very qualified and passionate young LGBTQ+ attorneys. The LGBT Bar is heartened to see such a diverse, talented, and driven group of individuals within the legal profession and commends them on their considerable achievements.
