Pro Bono

The ability to help isn't always enough. In today's world, more often than not, what's needed is time. We believe pro bono is time well spent.

The Paris office provides legal assistance to Urgent Identity Africa Fund whose aim is to address the problem of the lack of civil identity on the African continent and in particular in sub-Saharan Africa, where 95 million children under the age of five have not been registered at birth.
