Do ask, do tell: LGBTIQ+ and the legal industry (Part 1)

In May 2021, Wolf Theiss became an ally of Pride Biz Austria, the umbrella organisation of Queer Business Women and Austrian Gay Professionals. Pride Biz Austria helps people and organisations understand why LGBTIQ+ Diversity is important.

Since Wolf Theiss actively supports the LGBTIQ+ community and knows that much work is still to be done, we invited Astrid Weinwurm-Wilhelm to join us as a guest speaker for the 2 episodes of this podcast! Astrid is an organisational consultant supporting organisations in the implementation of Diversity Management. As President of Pride Biz Austria, Astrid works to make the LGBTIQ+ community more visible in the workplace. Together with Christian Mikosch, a Partner in our Corporate/M&A team and an ally in the partnership, she discusses the role of LGBTIQ+ Diversity at Wolf Theiss, our vision behind it and why it is vital to build up a rainbow network.

Stay tuned for part two of Do ask, do tell: LGBTIQ+ and the legal industry which will be released on 28 October and find out why awareness is important to cultivate, why it is important to mention every single letter of LGBTIQ+ and many more answers to questions you might not normally ask. This episode was recorded in autumn 2021.
