CORPORATE AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
At ASR Advantage Solicitors we recognise that we have an economic, environmental and social impact that goes beyond our core activity. Our corporate social responsibility programme is an important part of who we are and is designed to ensure this overall impact is a positive one.
As a firm we value inspiration, innovation and individual contributions. We treat our clients, and each other, with mutual respect and trust. We bring this approach to our CSR programme and aim to ensure all our people have the opportunity to get involved to help them develop to their full potential and be responsible citizens.
Our CSR programme has five key areas:
- Health Projects
- Research Funds
- Pro bono
- Community
- Environment
Pro bono
Our lawyers undertake a wide range of pro bono (i.e. free) legal advice as part of their commitment to the wider community. This ranges from sorting leases for local charities and community groups to working on legal advice lines and taking on high profile individual pro bono cases.
Community involvement
As a firm dedicated to upholding the legal rights of individuals, we strive to use our skills and expertise to support others in our community. Our community programme supports organisations that promote access to justice and social inclusion and those providing vital services to some of the people we have helped with our legal work.
Environment
At ASR Advantage Solicitors we are constantly striving to help reduce our impact on the environment. We always aim to be proactive in cutting our consumption rather than just reacting to legislation.
