Law firm Eversheds Sutherland has a new five-year global partnership with the International Rescue Committee (IRC), the global humanitarian organisation.

Founded in 1933, with a mission to ‘help people whose lives and livelihoods are shattered by conflict and disaster, to survive, recover and gain control over their future’, the IRC has assisted over 32.9 million people in 2022 alone.

In September 2022, David Miliband, President and CEO, IRC, gave the keynote speech at the firm’s global partner conference and introduced the important work of the IRC. Now, as part of the partnership, Eversheds Sutherland will provide the IRC with both financial and pro bono support over the next five years to help them deliver their work supporting those in most need across the 40 countries where it works with its local partners.

Supporting the IRC in this way is part of the firm’s commitment to being a responsible business, using its resources, time and talents for the benefit of those in our wider communities most in need. More information about the firm’s responsible business program can be found on its dedicated microsite here.

David Miliband, president and CEO, IRC, commented: “We are thrilled to be partnering with Eversheds Sutherland. Together, through their long-term financial commitment and strategic pro-bono expertise, we will make a tangible difference in the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.”
