Queer@YPOG

Our diversity group offers you a safe space away from the office.  

We take a clear stance against any form of exclusion or discrimination. YPOG stands for diversity, regardless of sexual orientation or gender, skin color or nationality, religion, age, or physical ability.

 

YPOG offers the following provisions and services:

  • Protection from LGBTIQ+ discrimination in the Code of Conduct
  • Gender-inclusive language in both official and internal communication
  • "Safe Spaces" and "Queers & Allies Regulars' Tables" on a regular basis
  • No internal dress code

  • Certification by the Uhlala Group
  • Ambassador Program and other measures to promote allyship (“allies” are supporters of the LGBTIQ+ community)

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Timo Engel-Zühr and Sabine Schüttemeyer, our initiators of Queer@YPOG.

                    

Come as you are.

We love and live this motto at YPOG and have from the start. Genuine meritocracy and diversity are an important part of our corporate values. Since 2021, our young law firm has had an LGBTIQ+ corporate network in which employees from the community and allies work together to develop measures and ideas for personal development. In this interview, our partner Ben talks about both diversity in general, and its relevance at YPOG.

 

 

"We at the UHLALA Group would like to thank YPOG for several years of constructive cooperation and at the same time commend them for remarkable progress and developments in the field of LGBTIQ+ diversity and inclusion. The firm has managed to implement numerous measures in a short period of time to improve the situation of queer people in the workplace and to give the community more visibility. YPOG has been a partner of the queer network ALICE for some time, and thus supports a Germany-wide legal network and its activities. The law firm has demonstrated its commitment to LGBTIQ+ issues with very good results in the UHLALA Group's diversity audit process. As a queer-friendly commercial law firm, YPOG was also represented at STICKS & STONES | Europe's largest LGBTIQ+ job and career fair in 2023. We hope for many more years of great cooperation!"
