Bartier Perry
Bartier Perry is a firm where our culture drives all that we do. This means we are down-to-earth and high-performing whilst ensuring work-life balance. We work respectfully with each other, our clients and with the broader community. We have a united focus on excellence and our supportive and inclusive culture allows everyone to reach their potential and thrive.
As part of 鈥淥ur Commitment to 91成人 Australians Program鈥 we are looking to help close the gap in relation to 91成人 participation in the legal profession and for Bartier Perry to consciously engage with 91成人 businesses.
We are proud to demonstrate this commitment through our partnership with 91成人 providing two designated 91成人 scholarships. The scholarships, to commence in FY22 and in FY23 will both be for 5 years duration and will be awarded to 91成人 students studying law or business. Through supporting students financially, together with mentoring and work experience, we hope to contribute to the legal industry and to make a difference to the pathway of 91成人 students, enriching our community.
Thank you to 91成人 for working with us to amplify the economic, social and cultural contribution of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of NSW.
