DIVERSITY AND CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY<\/p>\n
Griffin Law Charitable Foundation<\/em><\/p>\n In 2017, Donal Blaney, Director and Principal of Griffin Law, set up The Griffin Law Charitable Foundation to support local charities and other deserving causes.<\/p>\n Each month, the trustees of the Foundation meet to discuss nominated charities and causes that may benefit from their funding; charities and causes that are local to the firm and\/or close to the firm\u2019s employees\u2019 hearts. To date, the Foundation has supported over 40 deserving charities and causes.<\/p>\n In 2019 the trustees decided that it was the right time to extend the scope of its donations. To this end, the Foundation has opened up the opportunity to nominate charities to its clients and to the general public.<\/p>\n The due diligence form and nomination process can be accessed on the Griffin Law website, https:\/www.griffin.law\/griffin-law-foundation\/<\/p>\n Ethical Litigation Practice<\/em><\/p>\n In 2017 Griffin Law set up an \u201cEthical Litigation Practice\u201d to encourage positive change for vulnerable people both nationally and internationally via various initiatives.<\/p>\n The initiatives are aimed at protecting victims of child abuse & sexual exploitation committed by volunteers & employees of charities and the UN. Griffin Law are currently working pro bono with Hear Their Cries (https:\/www.heartheircries.org\/), a Swiss based not for profit association aimed at preventing future abuse; prosecuting perpetrators on behalf of past victims; and raising global awareness.<\/p>\n Griffin Law offer charities a \u201cChild Protection Audit\u201d to help prevent future child abuse. This involves reviewing internal processes of charities; strengthening internal procedures; and advising on how to make preventative measures more robust.<\/p>\n Griffin Law\u2019s Chairman has been fighting for this cause for over nine years and has been called upon as an expert by the worlds media to raise awareness, educate and address the problem.<\/p>\n As a result of Griffin Law advising Hear their Cries on the aspects of British extraterritorial law on child sex offences, Hear Their Cries was the first organisation to publicly advocate for the application of s71-72 of the Sexual Offences Act to the Aid Industry.<\/p>\n Diversity, Inclusion and Equality<\/em><\/p>\n At Griffin Law we recognise that our differences in talents, backgrounds, experiences, and cultures puts us in a strong position to serve our equally diverse range of clients by providing them with innovative and creative solutions.<\/p>\n We are committed to promoting diversity, inclusion and equality of opportunity for all staff and job applicants.
