Minter Ellison believes that lawyers have a responsibility to ensure access to justice for disadvantaged and marginalised citizens.
We assist individuals without the means to pay for legal services and non-profit community organisations whose work helps those in need.
We are committed to developing a strong pro bono culture in the regions where we operate. Each of our offices undertakes pro bono legal work in response to local need.
Our flagship pro bono project in Australia is our strategic commitment to the development and growth of the Homeless Persons Legal Clinics in Brisbane and Melbourne and the Homeless Persons Legal Service in Sydney. More than 100 of our lawyers attend these clinics in:
- Brisbane
- Community Café (a service of Mission Australia)
- Melbourne
- Ozanam House (a service of the Society of St Vincent de Paul) and Flagstaff Crisis Accommodation (a service of the Salvation Army)
- Sydney
- Womens' and Girls' Emergency Centre
Some of our most resource-intensive pro bono matters are conducted on behalf of individuals who would otherwise be denied access to justice.
