Pro
Bono

Since the very foundation of the firm, BGP Litigation lawyers have considered social projects to be an important part of their work and have been actively helping both individuals and companies. One of the main achievements in the development of the firm's corporate social responsibility was the creation of the charitable foundation ‘Lawyers Help Children’, which protects the interests of children in difficult life situations.

BGP Litigation became one of the first participants of Legal Charity, Russia's first platform for charitable legal services. The firm's lawyers regularly participate in Legal Run races.

In each of the projects BGP Litigation team has directly participated and provided legal services on a pro bono basis or with the minimum possible fee. You can read more about the firm's pro bono work below.

Lawyers Help Children Charitable Foundation

BGP Litigation established the ‘Lawyers Help Children’ fund to protect the welfare of children in difficult life situations. The Foundation's activities are aimed at strengthening children’s legal position within the family and society as being particularly vulnerable to human rights violations. Even before the Foundation was established, the firm's lawyers had been defending children’s interests for many years pro bono.

Russia Loppet

BGP Litigation actively supports mass sports. As part of cooperation with Russia Loppet, a sports community and competition organiser of fifty marathon ski races in Russia, BGP Litigation helps reduce tax and legal risks involved in holding sporting events.

One area of BGP Litigation's work with Russia Loppet was in developing amendments to the Federal Law “On Physical Culture and Sports” and drafting proposals for developing mass sports, which the lawyers prepared and submitted to the specialised committee of the Federation Council.

Legal Run

Since 2015, BGP Litigation has not only provided sponsorship support but also actively participated in charity races organised by Legal Run. Every year, employees of Russian and foreign law firms, inhouse lawyers, law students and lecturers take part in the race. The firm's partners are active participants in marathons all over the world but Legal Run is always a special race for BGP Litigation personnel.

Legal Charity

Legal Charity is the first platform in Russia for collaboration between law firms and charitable foundations to provide people with pro bono legal assistance. BGP Litigation was one of the first law firms to join the project because the platform’s values are very close to the ideas inherent in the charity projects the law firm implements.
