At RFB, Pride Month is an opportunity to reflect\u2014not just on progress made, but on the experiences, voices, and people<\/a> at the heart of our firm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, we spoke with LGBTQ+ colleagues and allies across the business<\/a> to hear what Pride means to them, how they experience inclusion in the legal profession, and what they hope for the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their insights<\/a> are personal, powerful, and a reminder that allyship starts with listening. We\u2019re proud to share their voices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

La entrevista n.\u00ba 1 fue con Ben Frost, socio de la empresa. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Can you share a bit about<\/a> your journey, and what pride means to you?  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEl Orgullo es una oportunidad para celebrar y reconocer a una comunidad que prospera hoy gracias a los importantes pioneros que empujaron los l\u00edmites cuando la poblaci\u00f3n en general no era tan inclusiva como hoy. Tambi\u00e9n se trata de continuar en la lucha diaria por ampliar los l\u00edmites, ya que el trabajo est\u00e1 lejos de haber terminado para garantizar que todo el mundo pueda ser abiertamente quien es\u201d.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. \u00bfQu\u00e9 significa para ti formar parte de la comunidad LGBTQ+ en la RFB? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMe gusta pensar que cualquiera puede ser abiertamente \u00e9l mismo en RFB y ser abrazado, aceptado y celebrado por ello\u201d.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 es tan importante la representaci\u00f3n legal para la comunidad LGBTQ+?  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRepresentation in law is just as important as representation in any field, but it is perhaps especially so given the historical nature of a certain class of individuals, stereotypically being the lawmakers of this Country. Law is a combination of the modern-day morals of the times, adapting to those needs. The LGBTQ+ community have been persecuted by black letter law and in some instances, continue to be so. It is therefore crucial that diversity<\/a> is continued to be encouraged so that the legislature and other legal sectors have representatives of the LGBTQ+ community to illustrate to others the issues that may not be apparent to those not in the community in order to make positive change.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. \u00bfQu\u00e9 mensaje transmitir\u00eda a los j\u00f3venes LGBTQ+ que se plantean seguir una carrera jur\u00eddica o que desean incorporarse a un bufete como RFB?  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLa abogac\u00eda ya no es un club exclusivo reservado a unos pocos. No deber\u00eda haber barreras de entrada basadas en qui\u00e9n eres y ahora la puerta est\u00e1 abierta, especialmente en bufetes como RFB.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. \u00bfC\u00f3mo vas a celebrar el orgullo este a\u00f1o?  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMi evento local es el Torbay Pride, que tuvo lugar el 14 de junio, al que asisti\u00f3 mi familia antes de ir a comer Fish and Chips\u201d.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. \u00bfC\u00f3mo crees que los colegas de RFB pueden seguir siendo aliados fuertes m\u00e1s all\u00e1 del Mes del Orgullo?  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cViewing the world with open eyes and understanding<\/a> that the person next to you may not have had the same experiences as you. Therefore, you should always treat everyone with kindness and respect as we do not know the struggles in each other\u2019s lives.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

La segunda entrevista fue con la directora de Recursos Humanos, Ginnie Maitland. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 es tan importante la representaci\u00f3n legal para la comunidad LGBTQ+? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

People need to see that the legal profession is open to everyone. When LGBTQ+ individuals are visible in law, it challenges outdated ideas and helps build trust<\/a> whether that\u2019s with clients, colleagues, or those considering a legal career. It shows that being yourself and having a successful career aren\u2019t mutually exclusive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. \u00bfQu\u00e9 mensaje transmitir\u00eda a los j\u00f3venes LGBTQ+ que se plantean seguir una carrera jur\u00eddica o que desean incorporarse a un bufete como RFB? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Be yourself, and back your ability. The profession needs people from all walks of life<\/a>, and your perspective is valuable. At RFB, we take inclusion seriously, not just in words, but in action. You don\u2019t need to change who you are to succeed at RFB or the law in general. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    La tercera entrevista fue con Sadie Petchey, responsable de marketing. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    1. \u00bfPuede hablarnos un poco de su trayectoria y de lo que significa para usted el orgullo?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cPara m\u00ed, el orgullo significa estar ah\u00ed para los dem\u00e1s y apoyar a todos los que nos rodean. Como aliado, es muy importante utilizar nuestros privilegios para ayudar a amplificar las voces de nuestros amigos LGBTQ+\u201d.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 es tan importante la representaci\u00f3n legal para la comunidad LGBTQ+? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cRepresentation of the LGBTQ+ community in law is vital. Not only does it make the legal workplace comfortable and inclusive for all, it also helps inspire young people who are part of the community. It sends the message that you can do whatever you set your mind to, regardless of who you love or who you identify as. It is also important to counteract any prejudice with love and apoyo<\/a> for our LGBTQ+ colleagues.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. \u00bfQu\u00e9 mensaje transmitir\u00eda a los j\u00f3venes LGBTQ+ que se plantean seguir una carrera jur\u00eddica o que desean incorporarse a un bufete como RFB? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cAs somebody who works in Marketing<\/a>, we strive to foster a safe and inclusive environment for all. We understand the different fights you may have in life, and we are on your side. We are here to celebrate everybody.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    En RFB, estamos orgullosos de amplificar la voz de nuestra gente. Nos gustar\u00eda dar las gracias a quienes han contribuido y participado en nuestras entrevistas; \u00a1sus opiniones son muy apreciadas!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Desde RFB les deseamos a todos un Feliz Mes del Orgullo, y esperamos que disfruten de cualquier celebraci\u00f3n que hayan planeado. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
