My proudest achievement has been helping to build our pro bono practice in the Blue Pacific.

We were the first global law firm to develop a pro bono strategy to support Pacific Island governments, organisations and citizens and it is now a major cornerstone of our work.

It is a privilege to support our Pacific neighbours – whether it be representing Solomon Islands at the International Court of Justice in the climate change advisory opinion, advising on construction contracts to repair infrastructure in Vanuatu following cyclone Pam, teaching the next generation of Pacific law students in practical legal skills, or supporting Fijian entrepreneurs to scale their businesses and access venture capital.
