More international firms including Allen & Overy, Clifford Chance and Dentons have made charitable donations and other commitments amid continued civil unrest in the U.S. following the death of an unarmed black man.

There have been widespread protests across the U.S. and the globe in recent days following the death of George Floyd at the hands of a white Minneapolis police officer.

Clifford Chance's Americas managing partner Evan Cohen announced on Tuesday that the practice is doubling its funding to the Equal Justice Initiative, a U.S. non-profit founded by well-known public interest lawyer Bryan Stevenson, that challenges economic racial and economic injustice. The firm will now give $100,000 to the organisation.
