Andrew, the National Service Line Leader of our Mining & Resources team, is an outcome-driven lawyer who focuses on helping mining companies achieve operable, workable and defendable mining approvals platforms. He’s a big believer in taking responsibility for getting results and is known for his honest, practical approach.

Sparke Helmore is committed to upholding socially responsible business practices and making a positive impact in our communities. We take great pride in being part of a legal community that emphasises the importance of pro bono activities for the benefit of the public.

We are pleased to present our latest social sustainability report, In Kind, providing a summary of our pro bono legal work and community engagement across the firm during the 2024/2025 financial year.

This past financial year marked our strongest performance to date, with over 20,468 hours of pro bono legal assistance provided to individuals in need, as well as not-for-profit and charitable organisations. Our average of 42.4 hours per FTE lawyer once again exceeded the National Pro Bono Target. Our contribution to community fundraising and pro bono legal assistance for individuals and charitable organisations we hope has resulted in a meaningful impact.

Looking ahead, we aim to provide more pro bono secondments and Wills Workshops, creating more opportunities for our people to contribute their skills where they are needed most.

We hope you enjoy In Kind. If you would like to get involved with some of our activities this year or if you think we may be able to support a charitable organisation that is important to you, please contact us.
