Crowell’s London office is committed to improving the communities that surround us. We work with Trust Law and Law Works, and we are engaged in contentious and non-contentious pro bono work, primarily for charitable organizations. We have advised on contentious matters, such as debtor disputes, contract breaches, and defamation cases. We also advise on terms of business, company formation/partnerships, statutory documents, and more. We are proud to represent local and marginalized communities in the UK, such as an organization that promotes social cohesion and empowers migrant girls and women, as well as charities across the world, including an East African charity that runs a renewable energy facility and manufactures fuel-efficient cookstoves.
We lead with a commitment to collaboration, and our efforts have included partnering with a client to assist them with implementing their own pro bono initiative, and providing a wide range of civil procedural advice to litigants through the Royal Courts of Justice, Citizens Advice pro bono projects. We have also partnered with the International Legal Foundation on a project aimed at shining a light on the state of juvenile justice in Nepal.
Our London office believes that accountability, transparency, and open communication are the engines of our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Our DEI and Women’s Leadership Initiative (WLI) committees are committed to supporting the firm’s broader DEI efforts. We run a number of annual events, seminars, and webinars with guest speakers aimed at our lawyers, clients, and professional staff. This includes promoting women in law, supporting PRIDE month, raising awareness during UK Black History Month in October, and encouraging understanding of global cultures and neurodiversity, to name a few.
As part of the office’s commitment to social mobility, we support a social mobility charity that helps disadvantaged students from across the UK realize their potential and access a comprehensive range of opportunities and activities to broaden their horizons, understand career pathways, and develop the skills, networks, and experiences needed for professional success. The London team works on social mobility-related initiatives to help promote access to the legal profession for all, and it also volunteers for Inspiring the Future, which connects workplace volunteers with schools and colleges to broaden children and young people’s horizons and increase their motivation to learn.
Our training contract ensures that you will have access to a broad spread of work right from the start. Key to success during your two years of training with us will be the ability to quickly build strong relationships with your colleagues, both in London and further afield.
