Arent Fox Named ‘Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality’ by Human Rights Campaign

Arent Fox LLP is pleased to announce that it once again has received a perfect score on the Corporate Equality Index, the nation’s premier benchmarking survey and report on corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ workplace equality. Administered by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, Arent Fox is recognized alongside only 680 major US businesses that earned top marks this year.

The results of this year’s CEI showcase how US-based companies are not only promoting LGBTQ-friendly workplace policies but helping advance the cause of LGBTQ inclusion in workplaces abroad.

“These companies know that protecting their LGBTQ employees and customers from discrimination is not just the right thing to do — it is also the best business decision,” said HRC President Alphonso David. “In addition, many of these leaders are also advocating for the LGBTQ community and equality under the law in the public square.”

Arent Fox’s Diversity & Inclusion program is active through three main initiatives. OutFox is a mentor program designed to help connect LGBTQ and allied lawyers, paralegals, and alumni, Arent Fox Minority Attorneys Group maintains a strong commitment to diversity and strives to create a workplace that embraces different perspectives and cultures, and AFWomen advocates for women lawyers’ leadership firmwide, across industries, and within the community. For more than 15 years, the firm has annually provided Diversity Scholarships to second-year law students who demonstrate a commitment to practicing law at the highest level.
