Day Pitney Alliance

Overview

Recognizing the unique challenges, biases, and discrimination faced by LGBTQ+ individuals, Day Pitney formed the Day Pitney Alliance in 2010 to demonstrate the firm's commitment to LGBTQ+ dignity and equality. Membership is open to the entire Day Pitney community, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or role within the firm. With support from all levels of the organization, from staff to executive leadership, the Day Pitney Alliance focuses both internally and externally to advance the acceptance of LGBTQ+ individuals in society.

Day Pitney Alliance may:

  • Promote the recruitment, retention, and professional development of LGBTQ+ attorneys and staff within Day Pitney, including coordinated mentoring and networking opportunities
  • Coordinate and make recommendations as to the firm's philanthropic outreach, activities and event attendance
  • Identify opportunities to raise Day Pitney's profile as a supporter of LGBTQ+ rights, including identification of and participation in corporate equality surveys
  • Interface with other organizations that support LGBTQ+ rights and opportunities, such as bar associations, affinity groups and civil rights organizations
  • Assist and coordinate with firm personnel in raising internal awareness of LGBTQ+ history, identity and issues, including periodic hosting of speakers or events (e.g., honoring LGBTQ+ Pride month)
  • In conjunction with the Pro Bono Committee, identify and facilitate the pro bono representation of LGBTQ+ clients and organizations serving the LGBTQ+ community
  • Raise concerns common to LGBTQ+ attorneys and employees to firm management

Day Pitney Alliance is led by a Leadership Committee that includes both Day Pitney attorneys and staff across all of Day Pitney's offices.
