Defense of human rights in arrest and arbitrary detention

IHR LEGAL, an international and interdisciplinary law firm, is composed of renowned and seasoned lawyers and professionals from different nationalities, who collectively provide cutting edge global advisory and litigation services rooted in international human rights law.

From its inception, our law firm was conceived as a direct response to an unfulfilled global need – the need to directly access high end legal and professional services in the ever changing and complex international human rights law landscape.

Our lawyers and professionals possess extensive experience and are acclaimed for their work in the international arena. We approach our work with tenacity, diligence, the highest levels of legal and ethical rigor, efficiency, and humanity in the matters we accept to sponsor.  As a disclaimer and aligned with our mission, we do not provide legal assistance to individuals and/or companies allegedly charged of serious and well-founded human rights violations.

As a reflection of the firm’s commitment to social responsibility and support for persons in vulnerable situations, IHR LEGAL handles, whenever possible, pro bono cases, especially when related to paradigmatic situations.

We defend the human rights of our clients from an integrative and holistic approach which combines legal, strategic, and media sectors. We are cognizant that, in many cases, the communicational aspect is as fundamental as the legal process for the protection of human rights. Therefore, our legal work is often complemented with a specialized and specifically tailored communication strategy provided by in house Communication specialists.

Our physical headquarters are located in Washington, D.C., home of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR / OAS) and other international institutions. Additionally, the firm has a presence in Geneva, Switzerland, headquarters of the human rights bodies that are part of the United Nations (U.N.) system.
