The fight against human trafficking is a main focus of Latham & Watkins’ pro bono program. The firm has represented trafficking victims and helped to bring criminals to justice. One project, in particular, was one of Latham’s most challenging yet — helping the anti-slavery advocacy organization Not For Sale set up what the law firm called a “unique and innovative social enterprise.”
