HL BaSE was recognised at the UN
Global Compact Awards 2023 in relation
to its pro bono work in Ukraine. The
UN Global Compact Partnership for
Sustainability Awards is an annual
international campaign celebrating the
best projects implemented in partnership
between business, government, and
civil society and is aimed at achieving
the UN Sustainable Development Goals,
protecting the environment, solving
social challenges, and promoting peace.
HL BaSE was a finalist in the Partnership
for Sustainability Award for “The
Possible”, Ukraine – highlighting the pro
bono legal support provided to Civic UK
and Civic Ukraine through HL BaSE.
HL BaSE’s work has enabled funds
from the UK’s Save the Children Fund
and Disaster’s Emergency Committee
to be directed towards investment in
women-led social entrepreneurs in
Ukraine. HL BaSE advised and drafted
the agreements and policies required
for Civic to make grants and loans to
these entrepreneurs, many of whom are
working in extremely difficult conditions.
“Hogan Lovells responded with
extraordinary speed and agility to
support urgent efforts to get a mandate,
finance and expertise to impact driven
entrepreneurs on the frontline of Ukraine’s
response to the escalated Russian
invasion. 51 rapid social investments
into impact-driven entrepreneurs
providing both humanitarian response
and a plan of renewal simply wouldn’t
have happened without them.”
