CMS continues Pride support with virtual global event

Law firm CMS has confirmed its continued sponsorship of 2020 Pride celebrations in support of Scotland’s LGBT community.

The firm’s three Scottish offices, in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen, are also marking the annual celebration of diversity by inviting clients and other stakeholders to take part in a virtual Pride Around the World event on Thursday 27 August. Participants will be invited to join in a specially adapted version of the Global Runner game, an online race which takes them to Pride events across the globe where they will face a range of challenges, trivia puzzles and tasks. 

CMS Scotland is also supporting the Pride Throwback Weekend by Bauer Radio, taking place from 27 to 30 August, when seven radio stations across Scotland will celebrate LGBT+ Pride artists and anthems.

Chris Rae, partner and Diversity Champion in Scotland for CMS said: "We’re delighted that, despite the impact of COVID-19, we are able to provide our support to the annual Pride celebrations across Scotland this month.

"We are proud to be sponsoring Bauer Radio’s Throwback Weekend, taking place in communities throughout the country, which we are looking forward to launching in conjunction with our Pride Around the World event. Here we will join friends of the firm in an exciting, interactive online challenge which has been specially developed to mark this year’s Pride celebrations."
