At Alexander Holburn, we recognize that commercial performance is just one facet of our success. Equally important to us is creating a lasting, positive impact in our community. We consider this as much a yardstick of our achievement as our commercial success.
We are proud to be an essential part of Vancouver’s commercial fabric and we recognize that our position creates excellent opportunities for us to give back.
We do this through a diverse range of programs we have developed, which align with the firm’s core values of balance, teamwork and trust. We are proud of the breadth of these programs, which encompass charitable and sustainability initiatives, as well as mentorship and networking opportunities.
To achieve this aim, we have implemented a Philanthropic Initiatives Program and a Pro Bono Program. Together they provide an opportunity for our lawyers and staff to volunteer and make a difference in our community.
Philanthropic Initiatives Program:
We receive hundreds of requests each year for support funding. One of the deciding factors we use to help us select which of these worthy causes to support is the involvement of our own people. We recognize and encourage grassroots involvement in charitable causes by the staff and lawyers of our firm, by directing our charitable giving in this manner.
