About Us
Our Story
ILP is an alliance of talented and passionate lawyers drawn from diverse countries and cultures across the globe. We pull together teams of pro bono experts to support the policy and legal needs of marginalised communities.
Founded in the UK in 2005, we are staffed by a group of lawyers dedicated to using the law to achieve economic and environmental justice through strategic pro bono legal support. For nearly twenty years we have supported partners in more than 80 countries.
We are proud to have a diverse staff team from Africa, Asia and Europe, reflective of the communities we support and with extensive experience in our focus areas, as well as law and international development. We work primarily in the Global South, with active projects across sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, Asia and Europe.
As a charity, our ultimate aim is to help our partners create long-lasting change in some of the world’s most marginalised regions.
Our Mission
We advance economic and environmental justice and the rule of law through the provision of pro bono legal expertise to civil society, communities, and governments.
Our vision is a just and sustainable world in which law serves as a tool for those who need it the most.
