Grace launches guidelines on corporate social responsibility for law firms

NEWS AND EVENTS 27 Sep 2016

On September 28, at the SÉRVULO offices, GRACE, the Group for Reflection on and Support to Corporate Citizenship (GRACE – Grupo de Reflexão e Apoio à Cidadania Empresarial) launches its document on the guidelines on corporate social responsibility for law firms (Ficha Setorial “Os desafios e oportunidades da RSC nas Sociedades de Advogados”). With an increasingly active role in the promotion of equal and universal justice, and in carrying out actions that have a positive impact on society, several law firms accepted the challenge presented by GRACE to debate the issues at hand in a Working Group.

In the document that resulted from this working group a series of challenges and opportunities will be identified, along with recommendations and practical cases that should serve as guidelines for law firms.

The event will include contributions from Paula Guimarães and Margarida Couto, respectively Chairwoman and Vice-Chairwoman of GRACE, as well as from Francisco Neves, of BSD Consulting, and Paulo Câmara, Managing Partner of SÉRVULO. Sector representatives and members of the law firms who integrated the working group will be among the guests.
