Review – the first step is to assess your current ESG position;
2
Identify – we can then identify your impact through understanding your organisation;
3
Advise – our written advice which includes a recommended Sustainability Framework to fit your organisation;
4
Implement – we draft relevant charters, policies and procedures and meet with board members, executives, management and stakeholders to implement a Sustainability Framework; and
5
Assess – finally, we create a due diligence process in which we can enable you to monitor the effectiveness of the Sustainability Framework.

"Pragma have been wonderful advisors to the Rivet Group on a range of matters across disputes, M&A, compliance and insolvency. Our experience with Pragma is that they are readily available, have a great team in place who is easy to work with, and they always get the law right. On more than one occasion, we have requested urgent advice on short notice and Pragma has always been willing to deliver. A firm with a bright future, we intend to engage Pragma Lawyers in years to come."
I take my hat off to you both, what an outstanding job...for you guys to get a commitment...was just short of a miracle. Take a bow and a hearty pat on the back from me. We hope we don’t need your services too often but I would certainly not deal with any other legal firm but yours.
Right from the first phone call to Pragma Lawyers reception our experience was positive. I was able to talk to Lawyer Lauren Evans right then and she helped us quickly and efficiently. We wholeheartedly recommend her services.
I want to again express my thanks to Deborah for the sage advice provided with regards to our client contract. Both us and the client were pleased with the outcome as with Deborah’s help we were able to find a middle ground that satisfied everyone’s concerns. The client was impressed with our response. Being our largest client, it was important that we arrived at a reasonable agreement with them – I am grateful for the assistance Deborah provided.
Our practice has worked with Aaron, Nick, Libbi and the Pragma team for a number of years now. They have supported us to successfully navigate and resolve the myriad of complex matters that arise in the engagements we conduct. Pragma’s collaborative approach, coupled with their expertise and high standards are reflected in their outcomes. Their culture is founded on resolving disputes in a cost-effectively manner, which means we can trust them to have our best interests, and those of our stakeholders, in mind when proposing strategies and solutions to legal challenges.
Partnering with Pragma Lawyers for both representation and advice was a pleasure. Aaron and his team not only exhibited professionalism but also demonstrated a keen commercial awareness that set them apart from most other firms. What truly impressed me was their ability to navigate complexities swiftly, consistently achieving fast resolutions without compromising quality. With Aaron, the Founding Director, personally handling all our matters, we experienced firsthand the dedication and expertise driving their success. I highly recommend you look no further than Pragma.
