Ethical Businesses
Supporting Ethical, Sustainable and Cruelty-Free Businesses
The DLC vision is to provide legal solutions for a kinder and compassionate future. Towards this objective we:
-
- Proactively seek to associate ourselves with ethical, sustainable and cruelty-free businesses;
- Offer reduced fees to clients who own ethical, sustainable and cruelty-free businesses, and
- Undertake philanthropic work to the best of our abilities.
Our services to all our clients are uniform in terms of attention and quality. However, when clients are ethical businesses, we work at a subsidised rate. This is our humble way of supporting and celebrating people and businesses who envision a compassionate world.
Our ‘We Love Ethical’ portfolio includes:
- Drafting commercial and employment agreements for a London plant based fast-food manufacturer.
- Assisting a vegan fashion brand on the licensing of their trade mark to an overseas manufacturer of travel kits.
- Assisting a cross border investment deal with an Indian start-up that empowers people to make digital payments and makes credit facilities for gas and electricity in India easily accessible for the less fortunate.
- Pro-bono work for animal rights organisations.
- Adopting Mayhew (an animal welfare charity) as our charity of the year.
Our Personal Approach
At The DLC we go above and beyond what is expected from a traditional law firm. We are an approachable and personable team that works hard to meet the needs of our clients in order to help achieve their goals. When you work with us, we grow, we succeed and we progress together.
