Global Alliance of Impact Lawyers

Who we are

The Global Alliance of Impact Lawyers (GAIL) is a community of legal leaders working to use the practice of law to create positive change for people and the planet, and to accelerate a just transition.

We believe lawyers are uniquely positioned to drive change and support the movement towards a more equitable system. By leveraging legal expertise, GAIL helps shift corporate models and financial systems so that business can truly be a sustainable force for good.

Our strategy is simple yet powerful: we profile, connect, educate, inspire, and mobilise impact lawyers—locally and globally. Together, we are rethinking the role of law and lawyers to accelerate systemic change.

Our culture and values

At GAIL, we believe that lawyers are powerful advocates, champions, and gatekeepers. Our work highlights and celebrates the most impactful legal initiatives from around the world—especially those that can be replicated and scaled.

We are committed to sharing knowledge widely, equipping lawyers everywhere with practical tools and insights they can act on. Our culture is built on collaboration, learning, and the conviction that law must serve people and planet, not just profit.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

GAIL is an equal opportunity and positive action employer. We actively encourage applications from minorities, anyone with a disability, and all other qualified individuals. As part of this commitment, we will ensure that anyone with a disability is provided reasonable adjustments. If reasonable adjustments are needed to participate in the recruitment process and/or to perform essential job responsibilities, please let us know.
