We invest in a more resilient and more sustainable Aotearoa New Zealand
Being connected to, and investing in, our community and our environment is part of our DNA – and has been for over 100 years. We are proud to play an active role within the communities in which we work, through pro bono work, financial support, community involvement (volunteering) and sustainability initiatives.
We focus on:
- Supporting the health, safety and wellbeing of Aotearoa New Zealand and New Zealanders, through a commitment to vulnerable New Zealanders and supporting young New Zealanders through training and education,
- Reducing our own environmental impacts and promoting innovative and sustainable practices in Aotearoa New Zealand,
- Acknowledging the importance of a strong arts and cultural environment to the wellbeing of Aotearoa New Zealand and New Zealanders, and
- Facilitating access to justice for those who do not have it.
At Chapman Tripp, we all like to give something back. Everyone has the opportunity to participate, including by providing pro bono legal advice or volunteering in their local community and doing something that is important and meaningful to them.Greer Fredricson, Community Director
We have formal partnerships with nine community organisations, who are our Community Partners:
Investing our time and legal expertise through pro bono
In addition to our Community Partners, we support a wide and diverse range of pro bono clients. We believe that supporting worthwhile organisations should simply be part of life at Chapman Tripp. Since we first began our pro bono programme, we’ve provided legal support to more than 700 individuals and organisations.
Separately, all our people are given two additional days of leave each year to volunteer for a good cause of their choice.
