Tanner De Witt in the Community

Tanner De Witt is committed to providing legal services to appropriate charities and to the support of groups and organisations working for others that have special relevance to members of the firm or to its clients. Senior members of the firm encourage all, and especially junior lawyers, to become involved in such areas to develop their skills and to discharge the wider social duty that we consider lawyers owe. We undertake activities both within the profession and in external areas.
