Over more than five years\, the law firm and the NGO worked side by side\, combining legal expertise\, resources and advocacy strategies to build a case that ultimately helped reshape international legal standards. \nWe are delighted to invite you to our in person event and join the panel of experts who were directly involved in this litigation. They will share insights on how they translated this victory into lasting change. \nA drinks reception will follow the discussion\, offering an opportunity for further conversation and networking with colleagues. \nRegistration Link: Social Event 2025 -11-18 (LO) Empowering Their Voices: A Celebration of Legal Triumphs for Girls in Latin America and Beyond | RSVP Blank \nSpeaker details to follow. \nDo you have specific questions you would like addressed?
