769 law firms worldwide practising LGBTQ+ Rights. Narrow down by city to find a firm near you.
LGBTQ+ rights lawyers advise people whose sexual orientation or gender identity affects how the law treats them. The work is broad. It covers workplace discrimination and harassment, recognition of same sex marriages and partnerships, parental rights for two mothers or two fathers, legal gender recognition, refused services, hate crime reporting and asylum claims based on persecution at home.
The legal position depends entirely on the country. Some states recognise marriage equality and allow gender markers to be changed by simple declaration. Others offer no recognition at all, and a few criminalise same sex relationships. A family formed abroad may be fully recognised in one country and invisible in the next, which is why cross border moves raise real questions about parenthood, inheritance and residence rights for a partner.
Most LGBTQ+ rights work is billed hourly or by fixed fee for defined steps, such as a second parent adoption or a name and gender change. Discrimination claims are sometimes taken on a success fee where that is lawful, but many civil law countries forbid pure contingency deals. Time limits are often tight. Employment discrimination claims can expire within a few months in some systems, and asylum applications may need to be filed soon after arrival.
Ask a prospective lawyer how often they handle matters like yours and how they would protect your privacy during the process. Ask whether recognition in one country will carry over if you move. An LGBTQ+ rights specialist should also tell you plainly when the law offers no remedy. Filter by country or city below to compare firms and contact them directly.
