Corporate Social Responsibility

At AMT Lawyers, we are committed to being a sustainable law firm which provides a positive impact on our employees, clients, profession, environment and the communities in which we are located.

The CSR model is partly separate from our pro bono practice which is run through a separate programme. We are proud to have established several pro bono clinics within the North West which have proven to guide and support the less fortunate who are unable to afford legal fees.

Our experienced lawyers attend these clinics on a weekly basis to give advice on various legal concerns and problems individuals are faced with in the community. In the past several years, we have been able to help thousands of people, improving lives and communities as a whole. The response has been fantastic therefore we aim to continue the clinics for years to come to ensure justice and support is available to everyone, especially the less fortunate.

The CSR Programme is integrated within the firm’s strategy and is a core component of the firm’s culture. It also reflects the firm’s values and beliefs which are excellence, innovation, integrity and trust. Using this strategy, we aim to continue to contribute to the communities around us, with a particular focus on supporting the most marginalised and disadvantaged. We achieve this by sponsoring several sports youth clubs to create platforms and provide opportunities for the younger generation.

We believe guiding and supporting the youth is the key to creating a brighter future for the entire community. For this reason, we have created the Brighter Future Programme and partnered with several Schools, Colleges and Universities within the North West, regularly attending events to advise the students on their future.

This programme involves our Internship scheme which provides students from all stages of education to work within our offices on a placement basis to improve their understanding of the legal industry and the work place in general.

Other than supporting educational institutions, we also have several partnerships with charitable organisations who aim to raise funds and provide a service to the less fortunate, ranging from the homeless to the unfortunate suffering from various diseases. We aim to be successful as a business however we feel it is extremely important to share the success with individuals from around the world who are not as lucky as many of us.

We recognise our responsibility to protect the environment by ensuring the sustainable use and disposal of scarce resources, and seek to do so by managing our supply chain and consumption of resources. The firm takes a precautionary approach to environmental challenges.

For the practice, providing opportunities for the youth is extremely important. This responsibility is embedded deep within the firm’s ethos. For this reason, we have been long established partners with JC’s Gym, creating opportunities and platform for the Youth to channel their energy in to a positive discipline.

The firm’s success over the last 10 years has been based on foundations of trust, integrity and a relationship with individuals from all walks of life. Sharing this success throughout the last decade has been extremely important to the firm’s core values. Therefore, several charity events have been organised and attended to help and support the less fortunate.

Community cohesion and support is an integral part of the firm’s values and beliefs. Projects involving donations and partnerships is always on the firm’s agenda, aiming to make a difference by helping in any way possible. The firm proudly donated sustainable bags to the Arts and Crafts Charity Event, aiming to raise monies for the local East Lancashire Hospice.

The firm prides itself on being a part of the country’s legal industry, however the firm also recognises other avenues it can make a difference, especially in sport. Sport is a tool which is used to bring togetherness, discipline, passion and commitment. Considering these important factors, the firm has sponsored a football cup for several years, named the AMT Lawyers Championship.

Long established events such as The Media Awards help to recognise and celebrate individuals within the community and media, making a real difference to peers, communities and specific industries. Supporting such events that celebrate inspirational individuals and groups is always an important part of the firms make up.

At AMT Lawyers, we have proudly sponsored the Fusion Awards and in particular ‘Women of The Year Award’ for the last 9 years. We are firm believers in gender equality and also the necessity to promote and celebrate women. Therefore, occasions and platforms such as The Fusion Awards is the perfect opportunity for us to showcase this on an annual basis.
