Social Enterprise<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
We work to ensure that the legal profession spearheads the development of socially responsible investment, the sustainability of the social sector and social enterprise in Spain and abroad. To this end, we focus our work on three areas: the creation of projects entailing Pro Bono legal advice for initiatives that seek to improve society through new forms of sustainable business; research on innovative legal formulas for the sustainability of NGOs and social entrepreneurs, especially concerning the development of Social Impact Bonds; and participation in national and international forums.<\/h5>\n

The relationship between the Fundaci\u00f3n Fernando Pombo and LexisNexis goes back to its inception and includes significant and ongoing collaboration through the International Bar Association.<\/p>\n

The LexisNexis Rule of Law Foundation was recently created. \u201cI trust that we shall continue to collaborate with LexisNexis in projects that strengthen the Rule of Law and prove to be significant in changing the lives of those who are most vulnerable\u201d, added Carmen Pombo in her address.<\/p>\n

The Rule of Law is the basis for the development of peaceful, just and prosperous societies. Specifically, it encompasses the following four concepts, based on the separation of executive, legislative and judicial powers: equality under the law; public and transparent laws; independence of the Judiciary and access to means for redress.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
