Innovation can help all corners of the legal world, but where it may help the most is in enabling pro bono teams to better serve communities in need, and make a lasting difference. Mayer Brown and Caterpillar were named as 2016 Pro Bono Innovators for their work on the Forced Marriage Project, an initiative for the The Tahirih Justice Center, a non-profit focused on protecting women and girls from gender-based violence.
Mayer Brown and Caterpillar first partnered to provide pro bono work to Medair, an international relief organization that brings aid to remote and devastated communities. This in turn brought the firms to Tahirih and began them on a path to creating PreventForcedMarriage.org, an interactive website and resource for victims of forced manages and those interested in helping victims of forced marriages.
