Social Impact

A community-focused law firm

Through our Social Impact programme, we provide our people opportunities to share their time and professional skills to support community partners. We also recognise our role in driving forward important social justice conversations; and our ability to advocate for positive social change. Our Social Impact programme is separate from, but complementary to, our global pro bono legal practice, Diversity & Inclusion programme and Sustainability Initiative.

Making a positive social impact

We seek to do this by:

• Partnering with leading community organisations to help them deliver key community projects and services; and
• Facilitating volunteering opportunities for our people to give their time and skills, and directly assist community organisations.

Global focus areas

1. Assisting communities experiencing marginalisation, disadvantage, financial exclusion and/or hardship.
2. Supporting young people in their education and career journeys, with a particular focus on young people aspiring to enter the legal profession.
3. Working to eradicate all forms of modern slavery.
4. Working together with First Nations Peoples to achieve reconciliation in Australia.
