We believe in giving back

We’re proud to make a positive impact to our local and wider communities through volunteer legal activities. Our lawyers offer pro-bono solicitor services to the Salvation Army, Red Cross and Scouts Victoria.

Our Community Wills Day is a local fundraiser, offered on the first Tuesday of each month, during which our Principal Lawyer offers 100% of her time on a pro-bono basis for the day as a fundraiser for local community organisations and groups.

We’d love to hear from you if you’re involved with a community group and would like to find out more about this fundraising opportunity.
