Inbrief

A corporate responsibility forum for law firms is being formed in Australia. The Australian Legal Sector Alliance will be based on a similar UK body that has run for nearly two years. The forum is being established under the auspices of the Net Balance Foundation, the Net Balance consultancy’s charitable wing. Founder law firm members are Clayton Utz, Henry Davis York, Maddocks, Mallesons Stephen Jacques and Norton Rose. The aim will be ‘to get together and discuss sustainability issues as they apply specifically to the legal sector’.
