Our most significant impact comes through the work we do for and with our clients.

Farrer & Co has a long history of working with charities, social enterprises, and not-for-profits to help them achieve their missions and drive social change. From advising leading philanthropists in the 1800s to empowering today’s non-profits, we are proud to support organisations that create positive change.

  • Future Building: Creating tomorrow’s communities requires a sustainable approach to land management, balancing development with environmental and social responsibility. With evolving regulations, funding opportunities, and stakeholder expectations, ESG considerations are now central to strategic property planning. Thoughtful placemaking fosters resilient, liveable spaces that leave a lasting legacy, while advances in technology and construction enable greener, more sustainable buildings that minimise environmental impact.

  • Sustainable Investment and Philanthropy: As individuals, families, and organisations seek to align financial decisions with ethical and social values, both philanthropy and sustainable investment continue to grow. Structuring investment strategies and philanthropic initiatives with impact in mind is now a priority for those looking to drive meaningful change while maintaining financial sustainability.

  • Good Governance: Whether in the boardroom, a family office, an educational institution, or a charitable organisation, governance expectations are evolving. Stakeholders demand greater accountability, transparency, and a clear commitment to sustainability. Strong governance structures and ethical decision-making are essential to long-term resilience and success.

  • Social Impact: The drive for social impact extends across all sectors, from businesses and education to civil society, philanthropy, and social entrepreneurship. Organisations are increasingly considering how their work contributes to addressing social and environmental challenges, ensuring that purpose and progress go hand in hand.

By combining legal expertise with a commitment to responsible business, we help our clients make a meaningful and lasting impact.
