Community

Supporting the communities that support us

Hillhouse Legal Partners values the community in which we live and work. As a Brisbane law firm supporting business owners, professionals and families, we are proud to have a long history of contributing to programs, charities and community initiatives that improve the wellbeing of those around us.

For more than three decades, Hillhouse Legal Partners has provided trusted legal services to clients across Queensland and Australia. As business lawyers in Brisbane, we work closely with business owners, medical professionals, mining and resources leaders and families, and we believe it is important to support the communities and industries that support them.

Our lawyers and team members regularly contribute time, resources and expertise to organisations, initiatives and community partnerships that make a meaningful difference.

Supporting meaningful causes

Hillhouse Legal Partners is proud to support organisations that deliver important services across Queensland and beyond.

Our involvement includes supporting and participating in initiatives connected with organisations such as:

• LifeFlight Foundation, supporting vital aeromedical services that save lives across regional and remote Australia
• RBWH Foundation, assisting with fundraising events and initiatives that support patient care, research and medical innovation
• Variety – the Children’s Charity, including involvement in the Variety Bash and initiatives that help deliver Sunshine Coaches to schools supporting children with additional needs
• Coffee Commune’s “Our Shout” initiative, recognising frontline and emergency service workers through a community-led program
• Meals on Wheels, making donations and connections for this much needed service.
• The Salvation Army, helping individuals and families facing hardship across our community.

Through these initiatives, our lawyers are able to support causes that align with the values of many of our clients and the communities in which they operate.

Supporting professional and industry communities

As business lawyers, Hillhouse Legal Partners works closely with a wide range of industries including health and medical, mining and resources, professional services and SMEs.

Many of our community contributions occur through our involvement in professional networks and industry associations, where we support education, knowledge sharing and collaboration.

Our team is actively involved with organisations such as:

• Australian Association of Practice Management (AAPM)
• Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS)
• Queensland Law Society
• Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM)
• Resources Unearthed
• various professional and industry communities connected to health and medical professionals, business owners and the mining and resources sector.

Through these connections, Hillhouse Legal Partners contributes legal insights, supports industry initiatives and builds relationships that strengthen the sectors our clients work within.

Contributing beyond legal advice

Providing trusted legal services is only one part of our role as a professional services firm.

Our team also contributes through:

• supporting community partnerships and charitable initiatives
• participating in industry and professional events
• sharing practical legal insights and education through articles, presentations and industry engagement
• building connections across professional networks that benefit our clients and the broader business community

As a professional law firm, we believe contributing to the broader business and professional community helps create stronger networks, better collaboration and long-term success for our clients.

Keystone Private Foundation

We are very proud of our workplace giving program that offers the Hillhouse team the option to donate small regular amounts from their salary before tax to the Keystone Private Foundation.

Keystone Private Foundation supports charities that have the greatest need. Pooling resources creates stronger investment power, resulting in larger gifts that make a greater impact. Donors to Keystone Private Foundation are helping to create a legacy and making a significant difference in the lives of others.

Simply part of who we are

At Hillhouse Legal Partners, we are proud to work with business owners, health and medical professionals, mining and resources leaders and families who contribute to their communities every day.

Supporting those same communities is simply part of how we do business.

Our commitment to community involvement reflects the same principles that guide our legal work - building strong relationships, acting with integrity and contributing positively to the people and industries we serve.
