From L-R: UN Special Envoy for Global Education and former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Reed Smith partner Brigid North, Theirworld Advisory Board member Tamara Box, author and Theirworld Advisory Board member Kathy Lette, and broadcaster Ashley John-Baptiste at the Theirworld & Reed Smith Carol Concert, St Botolph-without-Bishopsgate Church, London, Bishopsgate. December, 2025.

For more than two decades, global law firm Reed Smith has partnered with Theirworld and the Global Business Coalition for Education (GBC-Education) to help tackle the global education crisis. This long-standing collaboration is embedded within the firm’s business strategy, reflecting a deep and sustained commitment to expanding access to education and unlocking opportunity for future generations. The partnership is driven by colleagues across the firm, with Reed Smith and Theirworld teams working side by side in London and New York to create a close, integrated relationship.

Over the years, the firm has contributed extensive pro bono legal expertise across multiple practice areas and jurisdictions, supporting the charities’ operations and global programmes. Beyond legal support, Reed Smith also contributes to wider operational and marketing initiatives, demonstrating a collaborative approach that goes beyond traditional corporate philanthropy and delivers meaningful, long-term impact for children and young people around the world.

Every year, they also generously host a Quiz night and Carol Concert, bringing together hundreds of guests to raise vital funds for Theirworld.

We are grateful to Reed Smith for the continued support they provide, enabling us to ensure children across the world have the best start in life, a safe place to learn, and skills for the future.

For more then 20 years, Reed Smith has been a proud partner of Theirworld.
