Salvos Legal continues to make its mark as a professional law firm, picking up two more major awards.

The firm was named Corporate Citizen Firm of the Year and Australian Law Firm of the Year (under 100 lawyers) at the Australasian Law Awards held at The Star in Sydney on 19 May. “I am very proud of all the team members, employed and voluntary, who have contributed to these outcomes in every way over the years,” Salvos Legal Managing Partner Luke Geary said. “This most recent acknowledgement of their achievements by the legal profession is a validation of the significance of their sacrifices for others. It [the model of Salvos Legal] is not a novelty anymore. We’re getting the recognition for the effort rather than the uniqueness of what we do, which is good.”

Chair of Salvos Legal’s board, Colonel Geanette Seymour, along with Salvos Legal team members Mary-Anne Ireland, William Kontaxis and Sarah Hamilton – joined Luke at the awards night.

Salvos Legal and Salvos Legal Humanitarian, which commenced in November 2010, are solely owned by The Salvation Army and operate from offices throughout NSW and Queensland. Salvos Legal assists governments, the business community and other individuals who have the ability to pay for a solicitor.

Revenue received from this commercial work funds Salvos Legal Humanitarian, which offers those who cannot afford the cost of a solicitor, free legal advice and in some cases, court representation.
