Training
30 impact ventures
9 countries
123 legal volunteers
The 2025 HL BaSE Training programme brought together
over 123 Hogan Lovells lawyers and client delegates from
across EMEA to our London office for two days of immersive
learning and collaboration. Delegates heard from sector
leaders including Wietse van de Werf, Founder & CEO of Sea
Ranger Service, Marc Koska, Founder of ApiJect, and Mark
Cheng, Founder and Managing Partner of Social Innovation
Circle, as well as colleagues from our EMEA network.
During the programme, delegates participated in interactive
sessions focused on social enterprise business models and
the legal challenges facing purpose-driven organisations.
Most importantly, delegates were introduced to 30 impact
ventures whom they will go on to support with pro bono
legal advice for up to six months. From World Cetacean
Alliance who work to protect whales, dolphins, and
porpoises in their habitats, to KIDS Charity who are on a
mission to create life-changing opportunities for children
and young people, we were lucky to be joined by innovators
and entrepreneurs from across Europe.
Since its launch, HL BaSE Training has trained over half
of the firm’s lawyers, deepening their understanding of
commercial and financial skills, and the relevance of social
and environmental impact for all of our clients.
