What area at KWM do work in and what is your specialisation?

I'm in the tax team, specialising in income tax.

Almost 7 years.

Why are you passionate about our Community Impact programme?

It's a great opportunity to use our skills to give back to the community.

I am currently assisting with Tender Funerals Australia, creating franchised discount funeral homes around Australia to assist those financially disadvantaged to provide at-cost funeral services to their loved ones.

I would reach out to the fantastic Community Impact team and see how you can assist. There are so many worthwhile projects, whether one-off assistance or on a more ongoing basis and whether in your field of law or completely separate to what you do on a day-to-day basis.
