About the cause Lawyers for Lawyers (l4l)

Lawyers for Lawyers (L4L) is an independent, non-political and not-for-profit lawyers’ organisation established in 1986. Our mission is to promote the independent functioning of the legal profession worldwide in accordance with internationally recognised norms and standards. We do this by supporting lawyers who are at risk as a result of discharging their professional duties. Lawyers for Lawyers was granted special consultative status with the UN Economic and Social Council in July 2013.
