In August 2018, LezVolley introduced The Kurland Group (TKG) as a new presenting sponsor (alongside The Stonewall Inn) for the annual volleyball tournament that takes place on Fire Island.

The NYC-based full service boutique civil rights law firm has been serving the LGBTQ community, as well as the straight allies, in both New York and Washington D.C since 2001.

“Because of the work we do in the New-York community, we had heard about the LezVolley tournament years ago. We’ve always thought it was a great event and we are excited to participate – especially since our very own Erica Healey-Kagan is a secret volleyball rockstar (though she’d never brag about it!) We look forward to continuing supporting the event and will have a TKG team in 2019!”

Yetta Kurland, Founder & Senior Partner of TKG

The Kurland Group attorneys firmly believe it is important to have legal representation within the community. The support and understanding is critical to ensuring LGBTQ voices are heard and respected in the legal system.

Some of TKG legal victories for the LGBT community include:

  • Won an appellate Court victory confirming the parental rights of same sex couples.

  • Standing up to transgender discrimination and winning a settlement of a lawsuit against a national company.

  • Fought for and won right for transgender man to have his gender marker accurately reflected in his birth certificate.

  • Won a settlement against one of the largest banks in the U.S., charged with discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

 

But The Kurland Group handles much more than just LGBTQ matters
