Among others honoured at the awards were Gillian Phillips,Director of Editorial Legal Services at the Guardian, and Fiona Woolf, former Lord Mayor of London.
An award was also given to ‘4 stars under 40, recognising LGBT legal professionals under the age of 40 “who are rising stars in the profession and have demonstrated a profound commitment to LGBT equality.”
Those awards were given to Tuvia Borok , the Executive Director & Senior Counsel at Goldman Sachs, Sarah Rock, an Associate at RPC LLP, Hassan Khan, a Barrister at 4 Paper Buildings and Colin Rogerson, a Solicitor Advocate at Dawson Cornwell.
