Global
Our work has global reach and local impact. In 2020, our European offices contributed substantially to the COVID-19 response in a variety of impactful ways. We assisted a humanitarian charity in London with complex legal and practical issues, enabling it to remain operational and protect lives during a vital period. In Brussels, Sidley has collaborated with the UN Refugee Agency to undertake an in-depth review into how States have enabled remote legal assistance, advice, and representation in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our colleagues also assisted a manufacturer of PPE in navigating regulatory complications and helped a UK-based anti-poverty charity after it saw a 600% increase in demand for services during the outbreak.

Our pro bono program in London has expanded rapidly in recent years and focuses on access to justice, the rule of law, and assisting charities and social enterprises.
