THE NETWORK
We Are WILL
WILL takes shape through the people who lead its development, coordinate working groups, and build relationships between different professionals, skills, and countries. Each role contributes to keeping the network active, organized, and capable of collaborating across national borders.
From the foundation to the Board, from the heads of international divisions to national presidents, to the leaders of individual areas of expertise, the WILL structure brings together professionals who put their experience, time, and relationships at the service of the network. They are the ones who promote new initiatives, foster dialogue among affiliates, and create opportunities for collaboration at local and international levels.

RESPONSIBILITY AND NEW GENERATIONS
WILL Sunrise
Growing the profession means accompanying those who are building it. Sunrise connects students, young lawyers, and senior professionals to share skills, guidance, and concrete opportunities for growth in an international context.
Experience that becomes opportunity.
WILL Sunrise is the social and ethical division of the network. It brings together female lawyers, young lawyers, and law students in an international space dedicated to professional growth, dialogue, and responsibility toward the community.
Through mentoring, training opportunities, and relationships between professionals from different countries, Sunrise helps new generations navigate the profession, develop skills, and build a network of reliable references. The focus is not only on career: diversity, inclusion, integrity, and access to justice are part of the journey.
The project stems from the belief that a legal community is stronger when it creates concrete opportunities for those starting out and makes the experience of more senior professionals available, accessible, and useful.
MENTORING
Direct dialogue with expert professionals to guide choices and growth.
TRAINING
Meetings and resources to develop skills, methodology, and awareness.
COMMUNITY
Initiatives dedicated to inclusion, social responsibility, and access to justice.
THE VALUE OF EXPERIENCE
WILL Honour Club
Experience gains value when it continues to circulate. In the dialogue between great professionals, skills, visions, and knowledge matured over time become common heritage, strengthen the network, and continue to generate new relationships, opportunities, and growth.
The value of what we have learned.
WILL Honour Club brings together professionals with at least thirty years of experience in the legal sector. It is an international space designed to connect skills built over time, perspectives matured in different legal systems, and a deep knowledge of the profession.
Members of the Honour Club contribute to the life of WILL through dialogue, mentoring, and participation in international meetings. Their experience supports the network in interpreting complex issues, in intergenerational dialogue, and in building professional relationships based on integrity and authority.
It is not about looking at the past, but about transforming seniority into an active resource: sharing methodology, judgment, and international vision to help the network grow without losing the memory of what makes it solid.
DIALOGUE
Senior perspectives that bring legal systems and professional cultures into dialogue.
TRANSMISSION
Experience and methodology shared with the network’s new generations.
PARTICIPATION
Meetings and relationships that keep seniority active in the life of WILL.
