Yesterday afternoon saw the law firm Hassans launch their brand new Environmental Trust. In the presence of many of their Partners as well as the Chief Minister Fabian Picardo, Minister For Environment Dr John Cortes as well as Dr Liesl Mesilio Torres and Stephen Warr from the Department of the Environment. Senior Partner James Levy said that “The firm have injected £80,000 to the Trust and will increase over the years by the firm injecting £1 into it for every invoice they send out”. 

We heard from one of the firm's partners Vikram Nagrani who spoke to us briefly; "It feels great. I feel it is a proud moment for the firm and it is certainly a pleasure to do this. We still have a lot of work for us going forward. This is only the start, we have a lot of things that we want to implement and have in mind to do so in the next few years. This has all happened after discussions with the Ministry of The Environment but also with Hassans staff. We have been quite encouraged.

For his part, The Chief Minister Fabian Picardo said; "It is indeed a pleasure to be here at Hassans. It is an absolute pleasure to see how Hassans is doing its part for how we live. We have just won a General Election on the back of a greener Gibraltar. A city is not green if we are not child friendly or look at the interests of future generations. Settling money into a Trust really demonstrates that the firm has been prepared for a long time."
