Allen & Overy has an extensive global programme – Values into Community Action – which is an important part of who we are and the values we espouse. We are committed to helping the communities in which we operate which is demonstrated by the number of individuals from our many offices who volunteer for our schemes. This year has been one of substantial growth for the programme, both within countries where we have offices and as a global network. We are constantly working to find activities that will put our global reach and expertise to good use, and to create a sense of community within the firm. For example, our offices across Europe are currently working with a charity, Missing Children Europe (MCE), on a project to combat child pornography on the internet by cutting off the finances that support child pornography websites. The personal commitment, time and dedication of all our staff across Asia to pro bono and community work was recognised when Allen & Overy was named Asian Pro Bono Law Firm of the Year 2007 by the International Financial Law Review. Each of our offices works to develop its own programme, looking for new ways to help their local communities. In China, new pro bono committees have been formed in each of our offices there, to look at opportunities and to encourage participation. In Warsaw, a staff survey was conducted to establish which local needs and issues our staff wanted to support. Several of our offices are looking at how they can work with pro bono clearing houses, including those being established in Warsaw and Moscow by the Public Interest Law Initiative (PILI), an international NGO. We also work with Business In The Community's ENGAGE network of brokers to help develop our programme globally by establishing relationships, through its local broker agencies, with NGOs and community organisations. We have also been working on new, innovative ways to develop relationships with our clients. Doing pro bono or community work together allows staff from our clients and the lawyers who work with them to develop their relationships in a new way, with a joint purpose in mind. In London, we have successfully delivered workshops to local young people on working in the City with a number of key corporate clients. We have also seconded a senior associate to a client to help them establish a pro bono programme for their in-house counsel, and plans are underway for collaborative projects in a number of European offices as a result. For our pro bono and community clients, we look to build meaningful, long-term relationships which add value to both parties, working to find solutions to the issues faced by the organisations and the people they serve. As well as showcasing the wide variety of activities carried out across the whole network of A&O offices, this report is also an opportunity for us to recognise the extraordinary commitment and energy invested by our staff in pro bono and community work over the past year. If you are reading this as one of our volunteers, where possible we have tried to recognise you individually in this report. Inevitably we have not been able to record every project, and so we would like to extend a “thank you” and our appreciation for the contribution you make to our local communities. In 2007/2008, A&Oʼs fee-earning staff spent 55,564 hours, the equivalent of £16,592,702 on pro bono and community work, an incredible 21% increase in time spent from last year. Globally, 56% of fee-earners participated in these activities. This of course does not include the enormous contribution and actual hours spent by non fee-earning staff who do not record their time. We are beginning to take steps in measuring their contribution, and will continue to look for ways in which we can include their hours in our calculations. Finally, we would also like to thank Guy Beringer, for his leadership and support of the Pro Bono and Community Affairs programme during his time as Senior Partner. His input and guidance has been invaluable in developing the programme. We look forward to building on that work under the guidance of the new senior partner David Morley and managing partner Wim Dejonghe. If you would like further information about A&O’s Pro Bono and Community Affairs programme, please call +44 (0)20 3088 0000 and ask to speak to a member of the Pro Bono and Community Affairs team in London, as listed below; additional information is also available at www.allenovery.com/community. If you would like to get involved in pro bono and community work in your local office, you will find details of who to contact in Appendix 4 or on the intranet. 4 © Allen & Overy LLP 2008 2007-2008 I Values into Community Action David Morley – Senior Partner Stephen Denyer – International Development Partner Colin Pearson – Partner and Chair of Pro Bono and Community Affairs Committee Pro Bono Team Shankari Chandran – Pro Bono and Community Affairs Senior Manager Helen Rogers – Pro Bono and Community Affairs Officer Emma Shaw – Pro Bono and Community Affairs Officer Sue Wisbey – Pro Bono and Community Affairs Assistant Michelle Blythe – Pro Bono and Community Affairs Assistant Rachel Nicholson – Pro Bono and Community Affairs Junior Assistant Terri Wipperman – Personal Assistant to the Pro Bono team In this report references to Allen & Overy and A&O are to Allen & Overy LLP and its affiliated undertakings.

There are few opportunities in the business to unite a large, expanding and culturally diverse practice, so these projects bring the firm together, engendering a sense of pride and community. These are just a few highlights of the multi-jurisdictional projects we have undertaken over the past year. MISSING CHILDREN EUROPE A&O’s Brussels office has been leading a multi-jurisdictional pro bono project for Missing Children Europe (MCE), an umbrella organisation which brings together a pan-European network of child protection organisations. MCE has 21 member NGOs from 15 EU countries and it also works with EU countries who do not already have national centres for missing and sexually exploited children, to facilitate and stimulate national initiatives for their development. MCE also works with organisations in the US, where a financial coalition has been created to try to stop child pornography on the internet. A&O has a long-standing relationship with MCE, through Child Focus, a Belgian NGO that helped to develop MCE as a Europe-wide network. A&O has been providing pro bono support to Child Focus for many years, and recently also to MCE. Francis Herbert, a former Partner in the Brussels office, joined MCE in 2008 as its Secretary General, following his retirement from the firm. MCE is looking to replicate the US financial coalition in Europe, and is working with the authorities, European Commission and the banks, credit cards and other payment services. The aim is to be able to trace the perpetrators of internet child pornography through the payment services and systems, and to also follow the money flow and close down payment accounts. This requires the co-operation of the credit card companies, banks and internet payment facilitators. Lawyers from all of A&O’s European offices (except Moscow) are assisting MCE with this project, by looking at the legal frameworks of member states and their interaction with EU directives, data protection, e-commerce, IP, criminal procedure and banking laws. The due diligence work on the legal frameworks is now completed and a legal report has been published which will be used by the EC and the financial coalition.

  • Human Trafficking in the United States Susan Burke Good Morning, I Am Susan Burke
    Human Trafficking in the United States Susan Burke Good morning, I am Susan Burke. I am a state court judge from Minneapolis, Minnesota. I am honored to be here with you today. Minnesota is on the northern border of the United States, halfway between the east and west coasts. I am especially glad to be here today because my house is already covered in snow, and the high temperature today is about 0 degrees Fahrenheit (or -18 degrees Celsius). Judge Ann Williams wanted to be here today. However, a training program for the entire judiciary of Zambia was unexpectedly moved to this week. Like all of us, Judge Williams is committed to eradicating modern slavery, preserving and protecting the dignity of the human body; fighting the “Globalization of Indifference,” and promoting justice and the common good. Let’s turn now to human trafficking in the United States. In the United States, increased awareness of human trafficking is shifting public perception. Where people used to see children and women as criminals and voluntary sex workers, more people now recognize them as victims of crime. The Victims of Trafficking and Violence Prevention Act (TVPA), passed in 2000, provided a holistic approach to countering human trafficking. The TVPA focuses on prevention by raising awareness both domestically and internationally. It increases protection for victims. It enhances prosecution of traffickers. Under the TVPA, the U.S. Department of State issues a Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report. The State Department collects data on human trafficking from governments around the world and sorts them into three tiers.

  • Speke Resort Munyonyo • Kampala, Uganda August 26–28, 2015
    Speke Resort Munyonyo • Kampala, Uganda August 26–28, 2015 Research for The Long Road: Accountability for Sexual Violence in Conflict and Post-Conflict Settings was made possible by the generous support of: Open Society Foundations, Women’s Rights Program John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Humanity United August 26, 2015 Distinguished Participants, Welcome to Kampala. Thanks to the MacArthur Foundation, the Open Society Foundation, and the Norwegian Embassy in Kampala, we are gathered for this “Missing Peace Practitioners’ Workshop” to: 1. Review new research by the University of California – Berkeley’s Human Rights Center regarding challenges and strategies in reporting, investigating, and prosecuting sexual violence in conflict and post-conflict settings; 2. Workshop potential improvement of policies and practices to better respond to survivors of sexual violence during future emergency periods; 3. Exchange promising practices and lessons learned regarding the ability of local actors to recognize, investigate, and prosecute sexual violence committed as an international crime. We are honored to be convening such a distinguished group of key actors. As medical care pro- viders, police officers, forensic analysts, prosecutors, judges, policymakers and community-based organizations, you represent the front lines of response to sexual violence in your respective countries. You and your colleagues are the most important actors in the fight against sexual vio- lence day in and day out; no fight against “conflict-related sexual violence” or “rape as a weapon of war” is complete without your input and action. To harness your collective expertise, we have organized a dynamic series of discussions that will illuminate potential strategies to improving accountability for sexual violence, including that which occurs during periods of armed conflict or other political unrest.
