Partner Daisy Reeves named to ‘DIVA’ magazine Legally Lesbians series

Global Inclusion & Diversity Client Relationship Partner Daisy Reeves was named April 26 in DIVA magazine’s “Legally Lesbians” feature series. In the inaugural series to celebrate Lesbian Visibility Week, 25 individuals wrote about their legal careers and why LGBTQIA visibility is important to them.

As cited by the article, “In 2021, Daisy Reeves was ranked as the fifth most influential LGBTQ+ Executive in the world, in the globally recognized Outstanding LGBT+ Role Models List, which recognizes and ranks the most senior LGBTQ+ leaders in business worldwide, who are making the workplace more welcoming for the queer community.” Daisy went on to comment, “For now, I am the only person in the global legal world that has my job. In 2021, Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner appointed me as its global inclusion & diversity client relationship partner — a role I truly love as I advise clients about best and next practice in the I&D sphere, worldwide. Previously, I was global co-leader of our Banking Sector across 30 international offices. When I started out, in the early 2000s, there were no visible lesbian lawyers. There is that old adage ‘you can’t be what you can’t see’, so a few of us metaphorically stood up to change that, to be ‘seen’, and here we are.”

DIVA contains features on political and lifestyle issues affecting lesbian, bisexual women and non-binary individuals and allies.
