International Senior Lawyers Project (ISLP)

ISLP provides top-tier pro bono legal services to three primary groups of clients — governments, civil society actors, and social enterprises. We believe that engaging private and public sector stakeholders is essential to stimulating and supporting locally-led development and economic growth that can benefit all.

ISLP’s legal support focuses on the following intersecting thematic areas:

• accountability and transparency/anti-bribery and anti-corruption
• civil society engagement
• investment and trade
• media law and freedom of expression
• energy and natural resource management
• responsible technology
• social enterprises and innovative finance
• tax

We seek to engage where there is a genuine need for pro bono legal assistance and the opportunity to make a contribution to global development and the rule of law.

Engagements are driven by client needs and based on the attorney-client model: volunteer legal experts provide advice and guidance, while clients direct development decisions and outcomes.
