Corporate Social Responsibility
Our CSR Programme is diverse, exciting and ever expanding. Its success is underpinned by the passion of our people, and in turn, the programme gives us all the chance to share knowledge, experience and acquire new skills. We engage with diverse audiences and communities, which in turn helps encourage all our people to be individual, and to recognise their position not only within the business world, but also within wider society. Our programme spans across four key areas: Community engagement; Working with charities; Supporting emerging artists; and Pro bono legal.
Pro Bono
We are committed to using our legal capabilities to address environmental risk and promote sustainability, to defend the vulnerable and promote a positive and inclusive global society where opportunities are available to all, and the rule of law is respected.
Our award-winning pro bono programme targets the most impactful partnerships and legal work in the following four sectors:
- Climate, environment, and sustainability
- Diversity, inclusion and social mobility
- Vulnerable groups (refugees, survivors of domestic violence and survivors of human trafficking)
- Rule of Law
Recent highlights include:
- Partnering with JUSTICE on their rule of law work, to conduct an extensive investigation into the treatment of racialised girls and young women in the criminal justice system.
- Founding and launching the Domestic Abuse Response Alliance (DARA), the largest ever project of its nature, which has provided legal advice and representation to over 195 survivors of domestic abuse in need of protective injunctions.
- As a member of the Green Tech Legal Collaborative, spearheaded by Bloomberg, we provide legal support to ‘green tech’ startups that are addressing climate change and promoting sustainability.
- Working with Foundervine for over 5 years to increase access to entrepreneurship by providing legal mentoring and delivering masterclasses, including as part of the Barclays Black Founder Accelerator programme.
