LGBT Rights in Trinidad & Tobago – Paul Hastings assisted Trinidad-born, UK-based LGBT activist Jason in his historic and successful human rights constitutional challenge against the Attorney General and Government of Trinidad & Tobago, to remove sections 13 & 16 of the Sexual Offences Act criminalising adult consensual same sex relationships. The case and associated publicity has been instrumental in providing encouragement to millions worldwide by supporting and promoting LGBT rights. The case has already been cited in the Indian Supreme Court in the similar successful case there (ruling of 6 September 2018).

Youth Justice Legal Centre - Paul Hastings has developed a collaborative partnership with the Youth Justice Legal Centre (YJLC) part of Just for Kids Law (JFKL), a leading UK charity that works to transform young lives through the rule of law and child-centred advocacy. Children and young people often need more than legal representation – they also need support and advocacy to address the issues that had led them into the youth justice system in the first place – school exclusion and a lack of support for children with special education needs, children with mental health issues, children in the care system who were not receiving support, and children with housing problems. They deserve to have their voices heard and valued.
