Panel ten: Cooperation between CSOs and law firms in fighting corruption

Thursday 26 June (1545 - 1645)

Description

Cooperation between Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and law firms in fighting corruption plays a critical role in promoting transparency, accountability, and the rule of law. CSOs, which often work on the ground to raise awareness and advocate for policy change, can collaborate with law firms to leverage legal expertise in investigating and addressing corruption. Law firms bring specialised knowledge of legal frameworks, investigative tools, and litigation processes, which can help CSOs hold corrupt individuals and organisations accountable through the judicial system.
