We congratulate Heidi Nash-Smith for being nominated as a finalist for the Pro Bono Partner of the Year Award. Heidi recently sat down with Lawyers Weekly to discuss her nomination and how smaller firms can excel in building a strong pro bono and CSR practice.

Heidi leads by example. Her involvement in and passion for Community Footprint has enabled W+K to dramatically increase its participation in pro bono and CSR initiatives. The success of our pro bono and CSR program led to the decision to appoint a dedicated pro bono and CSR partner, a role Heidi commenced in February 2016. As a specialist insurance law firm of just over 100 lawyers, this appointment demonstrates W+K’s commitment to significantly invest in our pro bono/CSR program, and to continue to grow the contribution W+K makes to the cities and communities in which we work.
