KnowlesMain Expands Pro Bono Reach to Support Rural and Indigenous Communities

KnowlesMain Chambers has expanded its pro bono program to focus on underserved rural and Indigenous communities across Australia, reinforcing its commitment to accessible justice.

The initiative includes monthly legal outreach clinics in remote areas, collaborations with local advocacy groups, and a dedicated team providing free legal assistance in matters involving land rights, employment disputes, domestic violence, and access to services.

The expanded effort builds on the firm’s growing public interest profile, following high-impact environmental and employment litigation in previous years. It also responds to the urgent need for legal representation in regions where legal services are often limited or unavailable.

Feedback from community organizations and partner NGOs has been overwhelmingly positive, with several describing the program as “life-changing” for residents who previously faced barriers to justice.

In recognition of its efforts, KnowlesMain has been shortlisted for a national pro bono excellence award and is already planning to open a mobile legal unit to increase reach and consistency.

This move reflects the firm’s broader values of ethical responsibility and sustainable practice. By addressing legal inequality, KnowlesMain continues to build its reputation not just as a commercial law leader, but as a firm with strong community roots and nationwide impact.
