In the Community

PRO BONO

TODD & WALKER Law has supported a number of local community and non-profit groups with pro bono legal assistance over the last 10 years. We share this support amongst a number of different areas and community groups in the Queenstown, Wanaka and wider district to try and give back to the local community as diversely as possible.

As a firm we also actively encourage our lawyers to assist with pro bono projects whenever they can. We do this not to seek publicity or build an image but because the firm and our staff genuinely care about the local community that we all work and live in. We feel it is important to assist those in the community who would otherwise be disadvantaged or unable to access legal advice.

We are proud to list that our recent pro bono involvement includes work with:

Wanaka Watersports Facility, Wakatipu High School, Queenstown RSA Anzac Day Speech Competition, Cardrona Heritage Trust, Wanaka Primary School Future Trust, Queenstown Trails Trust, LUMA light Festival, Queenstown Mountain Bike Club, Wanaka A & P Society, Arrowtown No Leaf Building Group, Wilding Pines Control Trust.  

Our goal at TODD & WALKER Law is to ensure that this list continues to grow, and we continue to give back to the community that we are so passionate to be a part of.
