Proudly partnering with our community

Pitt & Moore & our community

Geoff, Emma and Whitney from Pitt & Moore with some of the team from Whenua Iti Foundation

Pitt & Moore has been part of the Nelson Tasman community for more than 160 years.

We have grown alongside this region, through generations of families, businesses, industries and community organisations. Our work does not stop at the office door.

We believe that being a law firm here means contributing to the strength, wellbeing and future of the place we call home.

Our commitment to our clients sits within a wider commitment to our community.

Giving back through leadership and service

Many of our lawyers serve on boards, committees and charitable trusts across Te Tau Ihu. They contribute their time and experience not because they have to, but because they genuinely care about our region’s future.

We are proud to support and be involved with organisations such as:

Supporting the people and causes that shape our region

We are grateful to be able to support local charities and organisations whose work improves lives every day.

Charities we support include:

  • Find out more about The Bishop Suter Trust here.

  • Find out more about Big Brothers Big Sisters here.

  • Read more here.

    “Pitt & Moore is delighted to commit to this significant sponsorship to better enable Whenua Iti to undertake their amazing work with our young people in Te Tahihu. We’ve visited Whenua Iti ourselves as part of a firm social day (which we would highly recommend to other businesses out there looking for a good outdoor venue for team building or social functions) and we were able to see first-hand of the difference that they are making in so many people’s lives at such a crucial point in their development. We are proud to be associated with an organisation that helps our youth to realise their full potential."

    - Geoff Caradus, Partner

Each of these organisations plays a part in shaping a healthier, more connected and more vibrant region.

More than a law firm

We are proud of our history. But more than that, we are proud to still be here, working, contributing and building relationships that last.
