About Us

The Global Alliance of Impact Lawyers (GAIL) is a community of legal leaders who are using the practice of law to have a positive impact on people and the planet, and to accelerate the just transition. We believe lawyers are uniquely positioned to facilitate change and support the movement towards a more equitable system.

The Global Alliance of Impact Lawyers is unique in our operation. We are leveraging the expertise of lawyers to accelerate the shift of corporate models and capital to make sure business is truly a sustainable force for good, while drawing learning from across the spectrum of impact disciplines.

Thought Leadership

Impact lawyers are redefining law and legal practice by designing new corporate and financing structures, drafting new legislation and bringing seminal cases.

Connect

The Global Alliance for Impact Lawyers community connects through events and our Member Platform. Members are critical to our mission of growing the next generation of impact lawyers.

“All human beings are
