LGBT Bar NY is the bar association where you can build your career—and find your chosen family. Our community is grounded in professional excellence, mutual support, and meaningful connection among LGBTQ+ and allied legal professionals.
Throughout the year, we host a vibrant calendar of events designed to bring members together both inside and outside the courtroom. From informal social meetups and affinity circles to practice-area panels and collaborative programs with partner organizations, our offerings create space for authentic connection and professional growth.
