Supporting LGBTQ+ inclusion in Asia through collaboration
Freshfields’ initiatives aimed at building a welcoming, positive and supportive environment for all have long included a focus on LGBTQ+ inclusion and we continue to evolve how we engage with communities and partner organizations globally and locally.

In Asia, we have actively engaged with colleagues, community groups and clients to promote collaboration, sharing insights and understanding. We have hosted multiple events in Asia highlighting the experiences of those in the LGBTQ+ community, to raise awareness and promote understanding. 

In 2024, we marked Pride across the world. In Asia colleagues came together to engage in discussion and find out more about Japan’s journey towards marriage equality and different offices celebrated with in person gatherings. In collaboration with our LGBTQ+ and Champions network, Halo, we ran sessions globally on allyship and how colleagues can show support to the community.

In 2023, we supported the Hong Kong Gay Games, which promotes equality for all, and in particular for LGBTQ+ people throughout the world. 2023 was the first time an Asian city has hosted the event, welcoming nearly 2,400 participants from 45 countries.

Another example is our collaboration with LLAN, an LGBTQ+ not-for-profit organisation that aims to promote equality in Japan, specifically focusing on same-sex marriage.

We work together to collaborate with others to build an inclusive environment for all at work and in their communities.
