PILnet is a global non-governmental organization that serves as a global network for public interest law. With programs in Europe & Eurasia, Asia, and at the global level, PILnet partners with legal professionals and civil society organizations to protect civic space, address global challenges, and work to build just, equitable and sustainable societies.
PILnet builds networks and collaborations of public interest and private lawyers who understand how law works when it serves the interests of the privileged and then it uses that knowledge to strengthen civil society and the communities they serve. PILnet not only obtains high-quality, free legal assistance for civil society organizations when they urgently need it but also helps organizations to capitalize on the full range of specialized legal expertise that can be provided by corporate lawyers, including against ongoing, or even yet-to-be-determined, challenges.
