DLA Piper has unveiled a new partnership with UNICEF to support significant expansion and development of UNICEF’s global child justice work.

Through the three year partnership, DLA Piper will pledge up to US$1.5 million through corporate donations and fundraising. In addition, DLA Piper will provide pro bono assistance to the UK Committee for UNICEF to the value of an additional $5m in support of, and for the benefit of, UNICEF’s global child justice programme. The UK Committee for UNICEF will receive and manage volunteers from DLA Piper’s international staff who will be supporting child justice work. This will include contributing to UNICEF’s work in preparing tools and training resources in the area of justice for children, which will be carried out in collaboration with the global UNICEF child protection team.
