Pro Bono Advocacy as a Positive Impact of Our Work
We believe that the excellence of our work, combined with our experience in the field of Business Law— a cornerstone of the country’s economic and social development—can help us build a better Brazil. With this in mind, we have developed pro bono advocacy projects aimed at assisting others, both individually and collectively, as well as fostering critical thinking among our team members regarding the key social and environmental challenges facing our country.

Social and Environmental Responsibility as a Daily Commitment
WK Social is a collective initiative led by our team members and is grounded in the implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We are committed to doing our part in the 2030 Agenda through concrete internal and external actions—short, medium, and long-term—guided by solidarity and sustainability. Leveraging our legal expertise, we aim to contribute to addressing educational challenges (with a focus on children and youth), as well as issues related to social inequality, racial and gender equality, and identified environmental impacts.

Advocacy and Conscious Capitalism
We believe in advocacy as a tool for improving and creating effective public policies. Accordingly, we structure collective projects aimed at realizing social rights on a broad scale, primarily through networked actions designed to achieve stronger outcomes. Along these lines, we are members of the Conscious Capitalism Institute Brazil, through which we engage with other organizations to discuss more ethical and responsible professional practices—toward society, government, and the environment alike. Through WK Social, we foster internal debates to encourage critical thinking and promote discussions within the political sphere and civil society, including through support of related institutions, focused on implementing constitutionally guaranteed rights. Our main areas of focus include: environment, healthcare, healthy food, education, and the rights of children and youth.
