SUMMARY:Beyond the office: uniting in-house and firm lawyers to strengthe
 n access to justice
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE: This session will be under Chatham House Rule.\n
 \nAround the world\, the demand for legal assistance far outpaces the re
 sources available to those most in need. Yet\, when corporate legal depa
 rtments and law firms work together across borders\, they create powerfu
 l networks that amplify pro bono impact\, share expertise\, and drive sy
 stemic change. This session explores how in-house counsel and external f
 irm lawyers are collaborating to deliver innovative\, sustainable models
  for access to justice—whether through joint legal clinics\, cross-juris
 dictional research initiatives\, clearinghouse models\, or digital platf
 orms connecting volunteer lawyers with underserved communities. Particip
 ants will hear from leaders who have built successful global partnership
 s\, examine strategies for overcoming logistical and regulatory barriers
  (including limits\, conflicts and other hurdles)\, and learn practical 
 ways to align pro bono goals and initiatives with corporate values and c
 ommunity engagement goals. Panelists will also share examples of project
 s well-suited for cross-border support\, along with “recipes for success
 ” to deliver sustainable impact. The conversation moves beyond tradition
 al notions of volunteerism to focus on shared responsibility\, leadershi
 p\, and the transformative potential of cross-sector collaboration in th
 e legal profession.\n
