Our commitment to the environment
We are committed to caring for our environment, and this is demonstrated with our involvement and support in the following:

- Keep Westville Beautiful- a local community organisation
- At Lomas-Walker Attorneys, we are passionate about doing our part to contribute to the “greener” economy, and to build a culture of conservation and environmental responsibility by:
- Placing recycling bins in the office common areas;
- recycling paper by dividing the paper to reusable or scrap which goes into the recycled bins located through the office
- incentivising staff to recycle paper and plastic bottle caps
