Community & pro bono

Widening access to justice, finance, education and a healthy environment

Our global community & pro bono strategy  focuses on contributing towards the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Guided by our theory of change, and in the spirit of SDG 17 – Partnership for the Goals – we work in long-term partnerships with some of the world’s leading NGOs and civil society organisations in order to maximise our impact.

We harness the skills and expertise of our people, often delivered alongside grant funding from the Clifford Chance Foundation, to deliver positive and sustainable contributions in the communities around the world where we do business. Increasingly, we work on pro bono collaborations with our clients.
