Great Lakes Lawyers is a Law Firm that provides exceptional services to clients from Rwanda and abroad, in complex litigation, advice, and consultancy services in different matters. The groundwork has been established for legal work and client service.
Our headquarters’ office in Kigali - Rwanda is a hub for clients across the wider east and central Africa and the nerve center of our initiative.
Great Lakes Lawyers’ (GLL) principal goals are to provide the highest quality legal services available ; to be an instrumental part of each client’s success ; and to recruit, retain and advance the brightest legal talent. Our Firm seeks long-term, partnering relationships with clients, to the end of providing the best total solution to the client’s legal needs.
We act for all types of clients including individuals, African and international corporations, investors, banks, and other financial institutions, development agencies and governments, domestics, and International NGOs. Working closely with many different types of organizations, from small and midsize companies to major groups, we are involved in all industries and cultivate long-lasting client relationships that thrive on our knowledge of local Rwandese markets.
We are committed to volunteer our time and services, for providing support to the communities where we do business by widening access to justice. We collaborate with Ministry of Justice, local NGOs and charities to deliver Rwandan community outreach and pro bono services, to those who are unable to afford lawyer’s fee.
At GLL, each lawyer has a target to contribute at least 60 hours of pro bono service per year. We strongly believe that this is the minimal financial contributions that Rwandan lawyers should aspire to make to organizations providing legal services to the poor and underserved. We encourages other’s Rwandan lawyers to aspire to provide such free legal services.
We set strategic community and Pro Bono objectives, which we report on annually as part of our Responsible Business.
