Turning injustice into legal precedent
At AllRise, we take on the ruthless in power, those driving environmental destruction, democratic erosion, and systemic abuse. We use the law to stop impunity and turn injustice into enforceable precedent. Every case we bring pushes accountability further and proves that the law still has teeth.
How we build cases that shift systems
We expose wrongdoing, turn evidence into action, and bring the powerful before the law.
Our team combines strategic litigation, science, investigative research, and sharp communications to build cases that can’t be ignored. In partnership with leading law firms, scientists, and frontline organizations, we design legal actions that confront systemic harm and reshape global norms.
Why it matters
When the powerful face consequences, systems change.
Each lawsuit redefines who the law protects and who it holds accountable. Our cases defend communities, protect ecosystems, and close the justice gap that lets the ruthless walk free.
What we focus on
Going after systemic harm: We confront corporations, institutions, and states whose actions cause large-scale environmental destruction or human rights damage.
Setting global precedent: Every case is crafted to stretch legal boundaries and establish new standards for accountability, nationally and internationally.
Delivering measurable impact: We pursue outcomes that matter: deterrence, compensation, policy shifts, and structural change that lasts.
Amplifying justice: We work with and for the communities most affected by environmental and democratic abuse, ensuring their voices drive global accountability.
Our work is always evolving. Below, you’ll find the cases we’ve already launched and the next wave of actions we’re preparing to bring to court.
