Our Approach
We offer capacity building for people running social enterprises by providing unique expertise through a blend of direct business support, tailored legal advice, and training, so you feel supported, educated, and empowered.
Our work is shaped by building a strong working relationship with you, supporting you to develop skills, increase your knowledge, and build your confidence to deliver your social impact. We also provide you with a balanced, knowledge-based approach to your legal issues, as we are skilled in interpreting the law, drafting legal documents, and providing solutions tailored to your needs.
We support individuals, whether working alone to generate social impact, with boards, or as part of a wider organisation providing vital services to their communities and everyone in between.
We believe that we all deserve access to the support we need, when we need it, but at a fair and reasonable cost. Access to legal services, for example, is fundamental in life and in business.
