FACILITATING ACCESS TO LAW AND JUSTICE
Law and justice are our firm’s core business, and we are therefore very happy to be able to provide free legal advice to the people and organisations that may need it.
G
ide has been a member of the Alliance of Lawyers for Human Rights (AADH) since 2012. The Alliance offers neutral, free and confidential advice to bodies and NGOs dedicated to the protection of human rights and the environment. In 2015 and 2016, a dozen Gide lawyers offered free legal advice to member NGOs. Additionally, several lawyers of the firm have been actively involved in the Bus de la Solidarité’s evening rounds. Launched in 2003 by the Paris Bar Association, in partnership with Droits d’Urgence and the City of Paris, lawyers offer free legal advice on a wide range of legal issues to 5,000 people who could not otherwise afford it.
Our skills sponsorship policy is also growing abroad. In London, for instance, our lawyers are offering free legal advice to leading UK cancer charity CLIC Sargent, which provides moral, medical, financial and practical support to children going through cancer, along with their families. Several lawyers from that office have also chosen to get involved with the Free Representation Unit, which offers free legal advice to individuals in social security and employment tribunals.
