Our commitment
We take our commitment to the community very seriously. We believe in fulfilling
our professional responsibility to the community by providing legal advice
free of charge to not-for-profit organisations and individuals from disadvantaged
or marginalised backgrounds - all of whom may not otherwise have access to
this type of advice and support.

Not-for-profit clients
Some of the recent not-for-profit clients for which
we have acted on a pro bono basis include:
- Spinal Cord Injuries Australia
- Aboriginal Childrens Services
- National Association for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect,
to name a few.
The firm has shown its commitment by becoming
a Foundation Signatory to the National Pro Bono Aspirational
Target,
voluntarily
committing
to the provision of 35 hours of pro bono legal services per lawyer
each year. The firm recently supported one of its lawyers who
undertook voluntary work in Alice Springs with the 'Aurora Project',
assisting native title organisations in the provision of legal
representation to Australian indigenous communities.
The firm also assists industry associations by providing free-of-charge
legal advice, including the Property Council of Australia, Property
Industry Foundation, Infrastructure Partnerships Australia and
Tourism & Transport Forum.
