Trustlaw Nominates Tilleke & Gibbins for Prestigious Pro Bono Award

TrustLaw

In recognition of Tilleke & Gibbins’ pro bono practice, our firm has been nominated as “2019 Domestic Law Firm of the Year” at this year’s TrustLaw Awards. Our nomination in this category is based on our commitment to supporting pro bono projects through the TrustLaw Foundation over the past year, and is particularly distinctive as Tilleke & Gibbins is one of just three firms in the world, and the only firm in the Asia-Pacific region, under consideration for this award.

TrustLaw is the Thomson Reuters Foundation’s global pro bono legal program, responsible for connecting law firms and corporate legal teams with high-impact NGOs and social enterprises working to create social and environmental change. The TrustLaw Awards celebrate the most important work being carried out through TrustLaw projects.

The fifth annual TrustLaw Awards will be held at the Landmark Hotel in London on November 12, 2019. For more information on this year’s nominees, please visit the TrustLaw website.
