Arnold Bloch Leibler recently hosted its first LGBTIQ-focused event as part of the Victorian LGBTIQ Interfirm Network.

The event - attended by over 70 guests - featured guest speaker Davey Thompson (pictured top right), Associate Producer at ILBIJERRI Theatre Company and advocate for the recent U=U (“undetectable equals untransmittable”) campaign by The Institute of Many. Davey spoke about this important campaign, which seeks to educate the public about what living with HIV means now.

The event was organised by Arnold Bloch Leibler Lawyer Miguel Ferreira (pictured top left) - who acted as official host on the evening - and Office Services Manager, Suellyn Ward (pictured top middle).
