Greetings! I'm Brian J. Foley, Founder and Executive Director of Lawyers With Borders, the world's foremost for-profit charitable/political action group for lawyers. We are an NGO similar to Doctors Without Borders (Medecins Sans Frontieres), except that we are not medical doctors (we are juris doctors), and we do not conceive of ourselves as helping people without regard to borders or jurisdictional boundaries (we don't go very far to help people).
At Lawyers With Borders, our vision is that lawyers should participate, albeit in a limited way, in some of the important social justice issues worldwide, for a fee. We do not believe in working for free, anywhere, or at anytime, or in any jurisdiction. Because you get what you pay for. Therefore, because we want to represent clients and advocate causes zealously and not in the way that people who are not paid and lack incentive will most likely represent clients or advocate for causes, we will not work for anything less than our normal fees. We make this principled sacrifice for the client and for the causes for which we advocate.
In addition to our paid representations, advocacy, and lobbying, we will issue statements and position papers on important international and domestic social justice and commercial issues, here on our website.
We're Lawyers With Borders - lawyers with a purpose who won't help just anyone.
