OUR WORK
LexCollective works directly and collaboratively with marginalized communities to identify the root of human rights violations and determine how the community would define justice.
​
LexCollective is dedicated to bringing rigorous legal strategies and tools to communities worldwide, regardless of a community’s wealth or status. We do this through alliance building, mentoring and training, and fostering innovation in investigation, accountability mapping, and litigation.
Our proven methodology is centered on our three-pronged approach to maximize impact: our Alliance, Academy, and Lab.
THE ALLIANCE
We access. We reimagine. We cultivate.
Our LexCollecive Alliance bridges networks of lawyers, investigators, community advocates, human rights defenders, investigative journalists, and others around the world. We build connections between Members and seek Member expertise when reimaging justice solutions with communities and addressing particular issues.
FIRM MEMBERS
Law Firm Members are small public-interest law firms or legal entities around the world that possess geographic, jurisdictional, and subject-matter expertise and infrastructure to support domestic litigation.
INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS
Individual Members bring diverse and unique lived and professional experiences, enabling cross-pollination with our law firm members and contributing to our ability to build innovative and impactful intersectional legal teams.
PARTNERS
We recognize the importance of collaborating with other networks, including our NGO partners, university partners and donors.
THE ACADEMY
We train. We mentor. We learn.
Our Academy trains, mentors, and empowers lawyers, investigators, and community advocates at all stages of their careers, with a particular focus on those early in their career. We blend immersive training experiences, e-learning platforms, and personalized mentoring to equip individuals to holistically address socio-economic injustices.
TRAINING
We offer interactive and experiential learning for lawyers, investigators, and NGOs. Our training program combines theoretical knowledge with real-world applications relevant to the participants‘ context.
MENTORING
Our mentorship model is customized to meet the specific goals and needs of mentees. Our mentors have decades of experience in different fields and offer valuable insights, industry wisdom, and personalized guidance.
E-LEARNING
We leverage cutting-edge technology and our Members’ expertise to increase access to and deliver flexible educational programs for youth groups, grassroots activists, and universities.
THE LAB
We investigate. We preserve. We litigate.
Our Lab investigates mass crimes and human rights and environmental abuses and collaborates with communities to incubate, develop, and test legal innovations. We collect and preserve evidence so that it is available for communities to pursue all available legal mechanisms.
INVESTIGATIONS
Our multidisciplinary teams work alongside NGO partners, communities, and human rights defenders to gather intelligence and document and investigate mass crimes and human rights violations.
