A new collaboration between VC4A and TrustLaw is offering social enterprises the opportunity to access pro bono legal counseling.
TrustLaw is the programme of the Thomson Reuters Foundation through which it provides pro bono legal assistance to NGOs and social enterprises through its legal network, comprised of law firms and in-house legal teams from 180 countries.
It allows assisted organisations to address legal issues related to their daily operations and undertake research projects that can be useful to fulfill their social mission and be used as a tool for advocacy.
African social enterprises are eligible to apply for the opportunity until the end of 2023.
