Yasmin has long believed that business and impactful entrepreneurship could be harnessed to promote a sustainable future for the next generations. The HL BaSE programme was developed by Yasmin and partners to harness the specialist practice areas of the firm to find a way to combine the expertise with social innovation movement to address the complex needs of the society.
Yasmin has been key to establishing and embedding a pro bono culture within Hogan Lovells. Yasmin helped achieve this by designing and implementing pro bono projects which focus the firm's specialist commercial legal expertise in the areas of women's rights and sustainable innovation.
Through the HL BaSE practice the firm has developed legal advisory support, which accesses experts in the firm, for international accelerator programmes for social impact business in the areas of sustainability, women’s empowerment, black and minority led business and assistive technology to improve the lives of those with disabilities.
Yasmin is the Vice-Chair of Mosaic, the HRH Prince of Wales led initiative to support young Muslims and their peers growing up in deprived areas whilst breaking down the barriers and suspicions with British Society.
She is an international human rights lawyer. In 2010, Yasmin was awarded an OBE in the HM Queen’s New Year Honours list for services to pro bono and the Muslim community.
