Access to Law

Working with TrustLaw has helped us develop and embed in our team a passion for pro bono work. The quality of projects that we have the opportunity to work on and support is excellent, and in many cases, we have formed an enduring relationship with these clients. We are proud of the strides we make each year in our pro bono practice and this would not have been possible without the tremendous support we receive from TrustLaw.

Partnering with the Thomson Reuters Foundation provides the opportunity to leverage our legal expertise for social good. We’re not just embracing challenges; we’re sparking change by deepening our global understanding and contributing to causes such as human rights and education. The TrustLaw service harmonises legal talent, NGOs and social enterprises to bring transformative societal impact.

It is always a challenge to properly understand local contexts, and for this, there is nothing better than having legal professionals from different countries willing to work collaboratively on a quality product.

The legal brief that we generated with TrustLaw support was the catalyst for a major organisational initiative; pro-bono legal research allowed us to identify a major gap in global board diversity policies and gave us the knowledge to advocate for more inclusive corporate boards around the world.

The legal advice facilitated by the Thomson Reuters Foundation enabled us to continue our journalism with confidence and to publish a vital investigation series which informed critical public debates on corruption.

The legal training organised by the Thomson Reuters Foundation has sharpened my skills in handling stories… It also made me brave to pursue stories that I have been shying away from, since I now know how to defend myself.
