Sustainability, environment and wellbeing focus
Duncan Cotterill is committed to our role in the community, both as a business, employer and to our people and clients. We are developing a sustainability strategy which will set out the firm’s initiatives and actions with regards to the firms commitment to our environment, our people and community, and a sustainable future.
Community involvement
Pro-bono work allows us to draw on our knowledge and expertise to benefit charities, people, local communities and organisations that align with our core values. It’s part of belonging and giving back. Examples of the types of work we have acted on in a pro-bono capacity are governance issues, intellectual property and brand protection, employment, establishment of trusts and company incorporations.
