January 29, 2026
January 29, 2026 – Boston, MA – Caldwell, a premier global law firm known for its technology-focused legal practice, announced a pro bono partnership with Safe House Project to secure intellectual property protection for Safe House Project’s innovative Simply Report software. Simply Report is an AI-powered platform that enables autonomous reporting of suspected human trafficking and helps identify potential trafficking cases.
By leveraging Caldwell’s expertise in intellectual property law, the collaboration aims to ensure this cutting-edge tool—developed to spot indicators of trafficking—is protected. This cross-sector collaboration highlights both organizations’ commitment to technological innovation in advocacy for survivors of trafficking.
Safe House Project is recognized as one of the country’s most technologically-advanced anti-trafficking organizations, renowned for leveraging technology and data-driven strategies to combat human trafficking. The nonprofit’s mission is to raise the identification rate of trafficking survivors beyond one percent through education and to ensure every survivor has access to safe housing and holistic care.
Safe House Project’s Simply Report tool exemplifies this tech-driven approach: in its first three months, the platform processed over 8,000 signals and helped support 684 victims of trafficking. By obtaining intellectual property rights for Simply Report, Safe House Project can continue to innovate with confidence that its proprietary AI technology is secured.
For Caldwell, providing pro bono counsel to Safe House Project aligns with the firm’s focus on innovation and its dedication to social impact. Caldwell has built a strong reputation for helping technology companies protect their innovations, and it is proud to apply that expertise in service of a critical humanitarian cause.
By safeguarding Safe House Project’s intellectual property, Caldwell enables the nonprofit to concentrate on its core mission of empowering survivors.
