In the Community

It has always been part of Hall Payne’s philosophy to support organisations doing crucial work in the community, and to advocate strongly for causes we believe in.

We have been instrumental supporters of reform for causes around:

  • workplace health and safety;
  • workers’ compensation; and
  • employment law and industrial relations.

In addition to our day-to-day legal work, our lawyers volunteer their time to support a diverse range of organisations which promote:

  • access to justice;
  • the rights of children’ and
  • the LGBTQI community.

We are proud to play an ongoing role with a number of organisations doing vital work within the community.

Our team work in the community, regularly contributing their time and expertise with legal, sporting and arts organisations.
