TrustLaw,
our global pro bono service, facilitated a new report led by the Tent Partnership for
Refugees entitled ‘Refugee entrepreneurship, business ownership, and the right to work
in host communities: a legal comparative analysis’. The report, with contributions by
Latham & Watkins, Ozalp Law Firm, Winston & Strawn LLP, and partners, covers
laws applicable to refugees’ right to work and establish a business in eight countries
globally.
Noni Rossini, Head of Marketing and Communications at the Tent Partnership for
Refugees, said: "Refugee entrepreneurship is important and worth supporting – but it’s
often opaque as to what’s legally permitted in host countries. That creates a
tremendous challenge for companies looking to work with refugee entrepreneurs, and
that’s the gap that the report fills."
