At Osler, our measure of success is deeply connected to our contributions to the communities in which we live and work.
Our dedication to creating a positive community impact guides our decisions and actions; it is reflected in our reduced environmental footprint, inclusive workplace, volunteer initiatives, and pro bono contributions.
Osler initiatives
Our lawyers and staff volunteer their time and talents to support a variety of communities in need. We pair our lawyers and staff with community agencies looking for volunteers or board members through our intranet Community Volunteer Involvement page.
As part of our Programs of Excellence, Osler makes annual contributions to law schools across the country, funding Visiting Professors and Chairs, student bursaries and scholarships, seminars and conferences, and innovative research.
Community law
With a strong commitment to creating a meaningful social impact, Osler’s Community Law Program is making a difference across Canada. Our lawyers and students regularly volunteer their time to help provide legal services to many people who might otherwise face barriers to accessing justice.
Commitment to ESG
For Osler, a commitment to the three pillars of ESG, short for Environmental, Social and Governance, is an essential aspect of our corporate responsibility mandate and the driver behind many of the firm’s ongoing initiatives.
It is essential for businesses of all kinds to consider ESG criteria and incorporate them into their corporate strategies and operations. People are looking beyond pure financials when deciding where to work, where to invest, and whom to partner with, increasingly taking ESG factors into account.
