Galdino Social

Galdino Social is an initiative focused on promoting education, gender and racial equality, and pro bono work, to build a more diverse and plural society.

The work carried out through external actions reflects the firm’s culture of equity and inclusion, in an environment free from prejudice.

We strive daily to ensure that each person can express their identity without restrictions and have their individuality respected. In this way, we converge our efforts in the materialization of several projects, such as Black Sisters In Law, Processualistas, IWIRC Brazil, Estratégicas, and external support, such as the Next Generation of Lawyers and the XI de Agosto Legal Department.
