Corporate partnership with Save the Children Norway

We support the efforts to strengthen the legal protection of children

We want to use our expertise to make a difference. As lawyers, we are particularly concerned with justice and human rights, and in our sustainability strategy we have chosen to focus especially on children’s rights. In 2019, we therefore entered into a five-year strategic partnership with Save the Children. In January 2024, the agreement was extended and renewed for another five years.

Save the Children’s main focus is on children’s rights and education, which we believe fits well with our business as a legal expertise company. Investing in children, young people and education lays the foundation for social development and growth – both locally and globally.

Our collaboration with Save the Children is based on shared values and goals, but also on our complementary skills. While Save the Children are experts in children’s rights with an extensive presence in over 100 countries, Wiersholm’s lawyers bring their expertise in business law and a strong position in the Nordic business community. Together, we create a synergy that enables greater influence and impact for children’s rights.

Our collaboration runs along three axes:

"The collaboration with Wiersholm means a lot to us at Save the Children Norway. The financial support helps us to do even more for children in Norway and the rest of the world. Wiersholm's legal expertise is very valuable to us and something we have benefited greatly from. We are two competence environments that learn from each other. Together we work on very important issues and have accomplished a lot."

Birgitte Lange, former General Secretary, Save the Children Norway

Pro bono

It is important for us to take responsibility for the society in which our business operates. One of the ways we contribute is by assisting Save the Children Norway bro bono on legal matters – both to relieve Save the Children Norway’s administration, as well as to advise the organization’s management on current legal issues.

Financial support

As part of our partnership with Save the Children Norway, we are supporting the Green Generation climate adaptation project in Cambodia – a collaboration between Save the Children and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). The overall goal of the project is to increase children and young people’s knowledge of the environment and climate, as well as to involve children in environmental measures against climate change that affect them directly.

Wiersholm donates money to the project annually. In addition, many Wiersholm employees donate an optional amount to the project through a fixed monthly donation.

"We have chosen to be the main partner of Save the Children Norway for many reasons. One very important reason for us was to have a large partner that gives us many different ways to contribute and that we feel confident that the support will be received. We also wanted to be able to contribute to the collaboration with what we do best - our legal expertise. This is why the collaboration is working so well - it is rewarding and value-creating for both parties. When both parties are satisfied, the result is usually also very good."
