Our Charter

Home / Mission

A profession without frontiers, held together by the rule of law.

GLF exists where jurisdictions meet. We convene the lawyers who practise across them, and we defend the standards that make cross-border justice possible.

I.

Uphold the Rule of Law

We speak for judicial independence and due process, and we stand with lawyers who face pressure for doing their duty, in any of our jurisdictions and beyond.

II.

Enable Cross-Border Practice

A working network of counsel across our member jurisdictions, so a matter in London, New York, Karachi, Dubai or Brussels never has to start from a stranger.

III.

Champion Human Rights

Access to justice, fair trial and equality before the law are not regional ideals. Our advocacy carries them into every forum where they are contested.

IV.

Advance Professional Excellence

Continuing education, international accreditation and shared scholarship that keep our members at the front of a fast-changing global practice.
