Community Engagement

Making a positive difference in our communities

As lawyers and business professionals, we maximise our skills and make the most significant impact by focusing our efforts on social inclusion within the communities in which we operate.

How? By delivering real social value through charitable giving, volunteering and sharing our expertise.

Through concentrated pro bono advice and collaborating with Access to Justice, student law clinics and our chosen charity partners with no legal budget; giving back this way is just one way we actively engage with our communities.

We also donate, fundraise and volunteer for local charities and projects across the UK, which is amplified by our dedicated workforce.

"The team at Womble Bond Dickinson filed an application with the IPO on Life Cycle's behalf to trade mark key components of our brand from commercial competition. The cost of professional fees has always been a blocker on resolving this, so we are immensely grateful for their support."

Ed Norton, Chief Executive at Life Cycle
