Committed to Christchurch
Our staff get involved in our community in many ways. We volunteer at free legal clinics run by Community Law Canterbury and the Citizen’s Advice Bureau, and serve on boards for schools, sports clubs, and other organisations around Christchurch.
As a firm, we provide free or discounted legal services to a variety of non-profit, cultural, and sporting organisations. We also provide more direct support through donations and fundraising.
