Initiative often arises from necessity.
StraLi was founded by a group of legal professionals who, confronted with the shortcomings of the justice system, united around a shared goal: driving meaningful change.
Inspired by the “strale”—an arrow striking directly at its target—StraLi (STRAtegic Litigation) is a nonprofit association dedicated to advancing the protection of fundamental rights and freedoms through strategic litigation. At its inception, StraLi began with seven members; today, our team continues to grow, with new faces and fresh energy fueling our mission every day.
