Since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, several members of our firm across offices worldwide, along with academics specialized in animal law, have been working on a treaty initiative to promote and regulate animal protection and prevent a future pandemic (the draft convention is available here). This project has become a global pro bono matter for the firm, with liaison Freshfields lawyers across all regions.
