About LGBT Bar Association of New York

The LGBT Bar Association of New York is a community of attorneys and law students committed to improving the administration of the law and ensuring full equality for members of the LGBTQ community.

We are one of the nation's first bar associations of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) legal community and one of the largest and most active organizations of its kind in the country.

The LeGaL Association provides its members with the opportunity to develop leadership skills and expand their legal network. As an accredited CLE provider, LeGaL offers programs throughout the year covering LGBTQ-specific topics & beyond, including classes aimed at making you a more efficient practitioner. Members are also able to join one of our many Committees or Sections, including: Family and Matrimonial Law Section, In-House Corporate Counsel Committee, Judiciary Committee, Solo and Small Law Firm Practitioners Committee, Diversity Committee, and Public Interest Law Committee.

Through the Association, LeGaL also offers its members access to client referrals through its Pro Bono Panel (PBP) and Lawyer Referral Network (LRN). This provides opportunities for solo lawyers, law firms, and legal services organizations to assist the community by offering pro bono services through the PBP, or to obtain potential fee-paying clients through the LRN.
