  • JOINT STATEMENT Unique Pro Bono Collaboration Tackling Refugee Crisis
    JOINT STATEMENT 2 October 2020 Unique pro bono collaboration tackling refugee crisis wins two awards for legal innovation LONDON: An ambitious pro bono project, the Greece Pro Bono Collaborative (GPBC), which provides crucial assistance to asylum seekers in refugee camps in the Greek Islands has been announced as the winner of the Innovation in Social Responsibility award in the Financial Times Innovative Lawyers Awards Europe. The project was also awarded the CSR Innovation (Multi-Firm) award in Legal Week’s Legal Innovation Awards. The project is a joint effort between six firms – Allen & Overy; Ashurst; Charles Russell Speechlys; Dentons; Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe and White & Case – and the NGO European Lawyers in Lesvos (ELIL). Refugee Legal Support (RLS) was also an NGO partner in the project’s first year. At its core, the GPBC aims to provide urgent legal support and advice to vulnerable individuals, with volunteers focusing on preparations for first instance asylum interviews and working on family reunification applications. It helps individuals of all ages, genders and nationalities. “The incredible need in Greece had been clear to us for some time, but developing a project that could really meaningfully utilise the capacity of international law firm lawyers, and scaling impact through collaboration within the sector, took careful planning” said Amy Grunske, Head of International Pro Bono at Orrick. A comprehensive project infrastructure was developed, with necessary training, supervision and support provided to the firm volunteers by the expert lawyers at ELIL. Implemented in a truly collaborative way, each firm provided volunteer lawyers for two-week placements in Greece in person, before switching to remote secondments in light of Covid-19.

  • Herbert Smith Freehills Becomes Founding Signatory to the Charter for Black Talent in Finance and the Professions
    HERBERT SMITH FREEHILLS BECOMES FOUNDING SIGNATORY TO THE CHARTER FOR BLACK TALENT IN FINANCE AND THE PROFESSIONS 30 October 2020 | UK Firm news Herbert Smith Freehills has been announced as one of the founding signatories to a first-of-its-kind initiative, developed to increase representation of Black people in senior positions across legal and other professional services companies in the UK. Created by barrister Harry Matovu QC, the Charter commits firms to creating and maintaining an environment where Black talent can be identified, developed and promoted for the benefit of individuals and their organisation. It also commits signatories to support the recruitment of Black employees and their development and progression into senior roles by focusing on the entire executive pipeline. Commenting on Herbert Smith Freehills’ commitment to the Charter, Alison Brown, executive partner, says: "This has been an extraordinary year and one which it has become abundantly clear that action needs to be taken to redress the imbalances that have been allowed to persist in so many business environments. No marketplace can succeed in the long term if it fails to reflect the communities which it serves and the legal sector is no exception. Earlier this year we outlined ten actions for change to highlight our commitment to create a safe, supportive and respectful environment across the firm and the profession. We are proud to be one of the founding signatories of this Charter and are determined to ensure opportunities to attract and retain talent from Black and minority ethnic groups build an environment where everyone feels valued." The Charter outlines eight pledges that signatories to it will adhere to.

  • The Charter – a Short History
    The Charter – a short history The Mindful Business Charter was born out of discussions between the in house legal team at Barclays and two of their panel law firms, Pinsent Masons and Addleshaw Goddard, along the following lines: The people working in their businesses are highly driven professionals; We do pressured, often complex, work which requires high levels of cognitive functioning; We thrive on that hard work and pressure; In amongst that pressure and hard work there is stress, some of which is unnecessary; When we are stressed we work less productively, and it is not good for our health; and If we could remove that unnecessary stress, we would enable people to work more effectively and efficiently, as well as be happier and healthier. They also recognised that the pressure and stress come from multiple sources, often because of unspoken expectations of what the other requires or demands. Too often lawyers will respond to requests for work from a client with an assumption that the client requires the work as quickly as possible, whatever the demands that may make on the individuals involved, and whatever the impact upon their wellbeing, their families and much else besides. The bigger and more important the client, the greater the risk of that happening. The development of IT has contributed to this. As our connectivity has increased, there has been an inexorable drift towards an assumption that simply because we can be contactable and on demand and working 24/7, wherever we may be, that we should be. No-one stopped to think about this, to challenge it, to ask if it was what we wanted, or what we should do, or needed to do or if it was a good idea, we just went with the drift, perhaps fearful of speaking out, perhaps fearful that if we took a stand, the client would find another law firm down the road who was prepared to do whatever was required.
