For our law firm this means that no fee is demanded for the respective consulting activity. Our law practice had undertaken its first Pro Bono project in 2003: in the juristic support of the Label STEP, a trust for fair trade conditions in the production and marketing of carpets, with its main office in Berne, Switzerland. The Label STEP is a small Swiss NGO, which is active in the area of fair trade both nationally and internationally and is specialized in the area of handmade carpets. The Label STEP does not have its own legal services and has to therefore rely on external juristic consultation in case of need. So we were able to support the trust in manifold legal areas (employment contracts, cooperation contracts, license contracts, consumer law, trademark and intellectual property rights). By cooperation and counseling the Label STEP through all the years, it has resulted in a very trustworthy work together that has been rewarding for both sides. As a result, a delegation from our law firm with representatives of the Label STEP were able to undertake project trips together to the countries, where carpet production is important to the country, such as Morocco (2005) and India (2007). These trips have left an unforgettable impression in the minds of all the participants. In the course of the year 2006 the Label STEP and the Max Havelaar Foundation (Switzerland) have resolved a merger. The merger, which has been legally prepared and supervised by our law firm, has been finalized meanwhile. By doing so, the Label STEP does not disappear, but instead their fields of activities will continue in the future as a new business unit within the Max Havelaar Foundation.
