Community

Helping community groups achieve outcomes and build stronger communities underpins Harwood Andrews Lawyers’ extensive pro bono program.

For decades, Harwood Andrews Lawyers has aided community organisations through the provision of in-kind legal services and is dedicated to maintaining this commitment.

It has not only been charitable organisations who have been at the heart of Harwood Andrews Lawyers’ pro bono program. Other community-focused groups in areas such as the arts, sport and education have been an integral plank in the firm’s pro bono platform.

Harwood Andrews Lawyers believes that the community can share in the benefits of the firm’s specialised knowledge of the law, profound experience and long-standing partnerships.

This commitment is realised by the allocation a significant internal budget that allows Harwood Andrews Lawyers to deliver legal services at no charge to chosen not-for-profit organisations.
