Advice, scoping & research
Legal advice about the possibilities and limits of a civil society organisation’s intended projects, plans or advocacy is invaluable. By obtaining advice in advance about legal frameworks, potential grounds for a legal claim, and how they can apply to a specific case, a civil society organisation can better determine its strategy and perform its core tasks more strategically. Our lawyers have advised organisation on a variety of topics and areas of law.
Where civil society organisations have thorough thematic expertise in-house, pro bono lawyers can supplement this with procedural experience, technical knowledge or research capacity. If necessary, our partner firms can engage their colleagues in other countries to assist in a pro bono matter.
Legal advice in support of organisational management
In addition to mission-related requests, an organisation can request legal advice in organisational matters. For example, when considering starting a project outside the Netherlands, an organisation can request advice on issues of liability, international payments, tax and employment law. Another example is legal advice in cases of mergers of two organisations or the establishment of a new project.
Examination of legal frameworks and grounds for advocacy or lobby
A pro bono request may include issues such as:
What options exist within the current tax system to encourage decentralized authorities to implement local policies in the field of sustainability?
- What are potential legal pathways or grounds for initiating a claim or filing a complaint against the government or commercial entity?
- What options does European legislation offer for promoting online security?
Legal research
A pro bono request may include issues such as:
- How is EU legislation interpreted by other EU member states and what are the opportunities for the Netherlands?
- Comparative research into the application of a legal standard by the courts at national, European and regional (ECtHR) levels.
