Baker McKenzie is proud to announce that M’Alyssa Mecenas, Counsel in Baker McKenzie’s Employment & Compensation Practice, has been recognized by the National LGBTQ+ Bar Association in its Best LGBTQ+ Lawyers Under 40 list.
The annual list honors LGBTQ+ legal professionals from across the United States who have demonstrated outstanding achievement in their legal careers, strong leadership within the profession, and a deep commitment to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion. Honorees are selected through a competitive process that highlights both professional excellence and service to the broader LGBTQ+ community.
M’Alyssa’s inclusion in this year’s list reflects her dedication to delivering high‑quality legal counsel while contributing meaningfully to numerous pro bono initiatives that support inclusion for under-represented groups. M’Alyssa also serves on several Firm committees within Baker McKenzie aimed at fostering inclusion and belonging. M’Alyssa’s recognition underscores Baker McKenzie’s continued commitment to supporting an inclusive workplace.
The Best LGBTQ+ Lawyers Under 40 honorees will be recognized by the National LGBTQ+ Bar Association during its annual Lavender Law Conference and Career Fair in July.
