Charities are at the forefront of strategic litigation. From challenging government policies to highlighting greenwashing, litigation can be a valuable tool in pursuing charitable purposes, raising awareness and driving change. But what does this mean in practice?

In this webinar, we’ll be joined by Paul Benson (ClientEarth), Jake White (WWF), Joss Saunders (Oxfam) and Bonike Bracewell (Save the Children) to discuss how you can use the law to create a widespread positive impact for people and the planet.

We’ll be discussing:

  • How strategic litigation can help to achieve your goals
  • How to decide which matters to pursue – scoping, risks and key considerations
  • Overcoming internal and external challenges
  • How brand reputation feeds into the decision process
  • Strategies for engaging in the right issues with limited resources
  • Proven effective litigation strategies, including choice of forum and jurisdiction
  • How you can exploit opportunities outside of litigation, including social media and PR

We’ll also look at the current landscape, and what work is currently being done to tackle the climate and biodiversity emergencies and wider social change. We will also have time at the end for questions to the panel.

When and where?

Tuesday 24 September at 11:00-12:30 via Zoom webinar.
