ALG wins twice at the National Diversity & Inclusion Awards

A&L Goodbody (ALG) won two awards at the prestigious National Diversity & Inclusion Awards held in Dublin. The two awards were Advancing Social Inclusion and Advancing LGBTQ+ Inclusion. This double recognition followed ALG being named Company of the Year in last year’s awards.

In winning the Advancing Social Inclusion award, the judges commended ALG for its long-term social mobility strategy and person-centered programmes that offer young people in the community seamless pathways through ALG’s education and employment initiatives. In awarding Advancing LGBTQ+ Inclusion, the judges highlighted our high‑impact pro bono legal work focused on advancing LGBTQ+ inclusion by directly supporting refugees and young people facing homelessness and our sustained support for civil society. 

David Widger, Managing Partner at ALG, said: “It’s such an achievement for us to win these two awards. They recognise not just our dedicated social mobility, pro bono and LGBTQ+ programmes, but everyone across our firm who consistently drive this work forward and make a real impact in our society. It’s a great start of the year for us, having had such a stellar year for recognition of our diversity, equality and inclusion programmes in 2025. We know there’s more we can do to become a more inclusive firm and make a lasting impact on our society.”

In 2025, ALG was awarded Company of the Year at the National Diversity & Inclusion Awards, Outstanding European Firm for DEI by Chambers Europe and achieved the Investors in Diversity Gold Mark. The National Diversity & Inclusion Awards is Ireland’s foremost DEI awards and is organised by the Irish Centre for Diversity.
