Community Involvement

At Abernethy Broatch Law we are actively involved in the local community.

This year we were again the major sponsors of the Bethlehem College Art Exhibition.  This is almost certainly the most comprehensive art exhibition in the Bay of Plenty and is now in its 15th year.

We also support Bikers Against Drunk Drivers and Habitat for Humanity in Tauranga and Eastern Bay of Plenty.
