Horizon has long supported public-interest initiatives. The firm established a Family Legal Services Centre and works with nonprofit psychological counselling organisations to develop legal support covering marriage, family affairs, inheritance, and the protection of women and children.
Our lawyers provide year-round pro bono services, with particular attention to people facing financial hardship, persons with disabilities, minors, older people and migrant workers. We also work with local communities to provide legal training and consultation.
Public-interest legal service has been, and will remain, an important part of Horizon's work. We continue to strengthen the professional quality of these services and use our legal expertise to protect vulnerable groups and advance fairness and justice.
