Delphi co-operates with Médecins Sans Frontières
Delphi supports Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) in Sweden. The relationship means that Delphi assists MSF by providing cost-free commercial legal counselling. This type of contribution by law firms is more common outside Sweden.
Interest in the project among the lawyers at Delphi has been great, says Rolf Kroon, who co-ordinates the project at Delphi. The project originates from the appreciation of MSF’s work for people in need around the world.
– We are grateful for the co-operation with Delphi, says Dan Sermand, general secretary of MSF Sweden. To be able to use as much of our field resources as possible, we always try to keep our administrative costs down. Cost-free counselling by a competent law firm, allows us to make efficient use of donations for various humanitarian crises around the world.
