LONDON law firm HFW, formerly Holman Fenwick Willan, has extended its pro bono partnership with international maritime charity The Mission to Seafarers (MtS) until 2022.
MtS provides welfare support to the world's 1.5 million seafarers, from helping them keep in contact with friends and families during long voyages to practical and emotional assistance in the event of a serious incident.
'Seafarers are responsible for the transportation of 90 per cent of all global trade - without them, you wouldn't have much of the food you eat or the clothes you wear,' said HFW partner William MacLachlan.
'We are extremely proud of the support we've been able to give to MtS and very much look forward to continuing that support well into 2022.'
Said MtS secretary general Andrew Wright: 'Our partnership with HFW has been truly transformational. For the past three years, HFW has provided important pro bono advice and guidance to MtS at a crucial moment in the charity's long history, and has also raised significant funds that have enabled us to deliver help to those who need it most.
