Weil has maintained a longstanding commitment to diversity and inclusion, and the LGBT+ community at large. The Firm uses the term LGBT+, inspired by Out Leadership which Weil is a member of, to ensure that the Firm is inclusive of all identities to make the community feel welcomed and make certain that nobody is left out. WEGALA, the LGBT+ affinity group of Weil, was established with the primary purpose of enhancing the recruitment and retention of LGBT+ attorneys and fostering a better understanding of the unique issues facing the LGBT+ community.
