Chapman Tripp has played a key role in the opening of Auckland City Mission’s new flagship facility in Auckland – the firm’s largest pro bono project.
The firm provided pro bono legal support to the non-profit organisation in a move that “aligns with its commitment to playing an active role within the communities in which it works, through provision of funding, legal skills and time.”
HomeGround is a housing and social services facility which comprises 80 permanent apartment homes for people on the social housing register, rooftop garden and residents’ lounge, community dining room, community spaces, health centre and pharmacy and addiction withdrawal services.
