Leading independent Australian law firm McCullough Robertson Lawyers has announced the appointment of Tim Longwill as the firm’s Pro Bono Partner.
Tim is a senior partner of the firm, recently celebrating 25 years at McCullough Robertson. He has actively participated in the firm’s pro bono program throughout his career providing advice to NFP and charitable Boards on employment and industrial related matters. Tim is also a Management Committee member for LawRight, a not for profit community legal centre established in 2001 with McCullough Robertson as a founding member.
McCullough Robertson partners have been contributing to the community since 1926 with founding partners Robert McCullough and Jock Robertson holding many roles including on the Barcaldine Hospital Board and Red Cross. The firm has long been recognised for its commitment and contribution to the community through pro bono work, scholarships, support for a range of Community Legal Clinics, providing secondees, connecting organisations with shared purpose and creating conversations beyond the law.
Kristan Conlon, McCullough Robertson Chair of Partners says:
“This appointment is extremely exciting for our firm. Our Community Partnerships Program is well established and focuses on four pillars – Sustainability, Diversity and inclusion, Health and mental health, and Access to justice and community arts. Long-term relationships with our clients and our community partners are part of our DNA and it has been a privilege to support those partners as they have grown and delivered outcomes for marginalised and disadvantaged people in our community. I am excited to see where our pro bono program can be taken under Tim’s leadership, as we head towards our centenary.”
Tim Longwill, Pro Bono Partner says:
“Our pro bono program is an expression of our values of generosity, commitment and being down to earth. It also provides opportunities for our staff to broaden their experience and give back to those in need, which our people really value. I am honoured to be appointed this role and look forward to continuing to build the firm’s pro bono program and deliver impactful outcomes for the communities in which we live and work.”
