Asters has been providing pro bono legal support for UAnimals, including advocacy for animal rights, the development of legislative initiatives, and the provision of legal protection.
UAnimals is a nationwide animal and environmental protection organisation that has been promoting the humane treatment of animals since 2016. Since the start of the full-scale invasion, it has been actively evacuating and treating animals from frontline areas, helping military animals and shelters, and initiating important legislative changes in this area.
"The issue of animal rights becomes even more relevant during wartime," a firm press release stated. "Animals cannot take care of or protect themselves. That is why organisations such as UAnimals become their voice and, in difficult times of war, also help with evacuation from the frontline areas and engage in their rehabilitation. As a law firm, we are pleased to support UAnimals with our expertise and public position."
The Asters team is led by Counsel Marta Halabala.
