Helping the Community

Our Partnerships help us build and strengthen our relationships within our communities, and with local charities and organisations. We offer legal support to both charitable organisations and their staff, ensuring they have the resources they need to thrive. We are especially proud of our work with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and Swanage Railway to help preserve these cherished institutions for future generations to come.

Being actively involved in the community is very important to our organisation and our staff, and we are particularly passionate about sponsoring local businesses and sports clubs

Some of the organisations or events that we sponsor are:

• Wimborne Cricket Club
• West Hants Club
• Parkstone Yacht Club
• Swanage Cricket Club
• Ringwood Carnival
• Army Cadets
• Dorset Business Angels
• Dorset Sporting Club Luncheon
• It’s too faro Cycling Trip
• Ringwood Business Awards
• Wimborne Business Awards
• STEAM Challenge

Many of our fundraising activities come directly from our enthusiastic staff members, and we all work hard to involve ourselves in various events and charity fundraising opportunities.

Some of the charities we have recently supported include:

• Race for Life | Cancer Research
• Dorset Mind
• LawCare
• Julia’s House
• The BOWRA Foundation
• Lewis Manning
• Veterans with Dogs
• ABF Soldier’s Charity
• Wessex Cancer Trust

Our people are passionate about education, giving people opportunities and supporting local. We support schools and universities in providing sponsorship, attending careers fairs, providing speakers for school events, mock interviews for sixth form students, ‘meet the firm’ events and a negotiation competition.

Our links with Bournemouth University have enabled us to host many legal placement students. These students spend over a year with us in the middle of their degrees. Some of these students have progressed to permanent roles and training contracts to previous legal placement students.

We annually sponsor the Soroptimist International’s Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths (STEAM) Challenge. The STEAM Challenge was established to encourage and inspire girls to become involved in STEAM subjects. As a firm proud of its majority female team, we recognise the continuing importance of advocating for the role of women in the workforce.

Our people are passionate about developing local talent. In doing so we support those in education, expand on our relationship with the university and deepen our involvement in the local community.
