Sustainability

As part of our commitment with a sustainable practice, Hughes & Hughes has recently adhered to the UN Global Compact initiative, focusing our efforts on promoting actions and initiatives aimed to achieving social justice, equality, environmental protection and partnership in accordance with the Sustainable Development Goals.

Diversity is a cornerstone of our Firm's philosophy; this fundamental principle is based on the true belief that different opinions, views and approaches, coming from diverse cultures and genders are enriching and necessary for the best quality of our services.

Hughes & Hughes is a signatory of the UN WEPs (Women's Empowerment Principles) assuming the commitment of applying practices and policies to promote gender equality and women’s empowerment in the workplace, marketplace and community.

Pro Bono

We have a commitment to the community where we live. This is why we provide quality pro bono legal services to economically disadvantaged individuals and institutions that cannot have access thereto, and to organizations, associations and NGOs that work on behalf of the public to address issues of economic and social justice and aim at improving the quality of life. Our actions are part of the culture and values that govern our corporate behaviour. They lead to the personal and professional development of our co-workers and help generating a positive impact on the Uruguayan society.

Along with other law Firms in Uruguay, we are founders of the Fundación Pro Bono Uruguay, with the aim of promoting and organizing pro bono work in a collaborative manner.
