The second TrustLaw Awards will take place in London on Monday 3rd December. We will celebrate the best TrustLaw pro bono projects undertaken jointly by leading lawyers with NGOs and social entrepreneurs and hear how real change happens when you bring the right people together.
Joining us will be senior representatives from the legal industry, innovative social enterprises and exceptional NGOs from around the world.
"TrustLaw could not exist without the extraordinary dedication and commitment of the many lawyers willing to share their expertise with NGOs and entrepreneurs," said Monique Villa, Thomson Reuters Foundation CEO. "TrustLaw is a fabulous adventure and has become a critical service for NGOs and social entrepreneurs, helping to keep their legal costs down and allowing them to channel their funds to those in greatest need."
Winners of last year's awards include:
- Orrick, Latham & Watkins, together with 17 other law firms, for working with Adie to promote micro-entrepreneurship in Europe more.
- J. Sagar Associates and Hewlett Packard, for working with mDiagnostica to facilitate remote diagnosis of sick people in India's rural areas more.
- Mayer Brown, together with 18 other law firms, for working with Transparency International to strengthen the global review process of the U.N. Convention against Corruption more.
