MAXIMIZING ACCESS TO LEGAL EXPERTISE

Delivering legal solutions in conflict and post-conflict areas requires a deep understanding of local context and various accountability mechanisms. We harness our global network to

maximize our expertise and support to impacted communities in developing and implementing concrete legal strategies that will address their particular needs.

ACHIEVING AN INNOVATIVE, ELEVATED ACCESS-TO-JUSTICE MODEL

Working in silos results in inefficiency and often temporary solutions that address only symptoms of underlying, systemic problems. Our proven model provides integrated global legal representation and advice to underserved, marginalized communities that we serve. Through this model, we aim to ensure communities receive the highest quality legal solutions.

FACILITATING INTERCONTINENTAL KNOWLEDGE SHARING

Governments and transnational corporations, many of which are responsible for the most extreme forms of injustice, can readily access legal advice across sectors from full-service, global law firms. Similarly, we serve the most seriously affected communities by facilitating transnational knowledge sharing that increases access to resources.

UPHOLDING COMMUNITY-DRIVEN SOLUTIONS THROUGH COLLABORATION

Too often, international organizations from the Global North are viewed as “the experts” when in fact, more applicable expertise and impactful solutions are at the community level. We recognize that everyone has the right to lead decision-making and co-design legal solutions that impact their lives. Access to justice mechanisms should not be limited to lawyers based on economic stature and background.
