The Emerging Enterprises Pro Bono Program provides legal support to small and midsize for-profit enterprises and market-focused nongovernmental organizations and nonprofits. Our lawyers work together with businesses that have a clear, positive social and economic impact for the poorest citizens in developing countries across Africa, Asia, Central and South America, and the Caribbean. By assisting with the market-based growth of small and midsize local businesses, the program helps boost local economies, increase job opportunities, raise incomes and enable other social benefits to improve the lives and livelihoods of the world’s poorest people. Sidley partners with several legal departments of our corporate clients to deliver these services.
