Our Commitment
We will proudly add a contribution, helping turn collective generosity into meaningful support for those in need.
At Jacob Law LLP, we believe that legal practice goes beyond professional services – it’s about community, empathy, and shared responsibility.
Buying, selling, or refinancing property is often one of life’s most significant milestones, bringing relief, excitement, and gratitude.
We also recognise these moments as an opportunity to reflect on how fortunate many of us are to have a secure home, financial stability, and access to professional support. Our new initiative gives clients the chance to help those who are less fortunate.
As part of our Charity Contribution Initiative, minor surpluses on client accounts after a transaction are used to support housing, homelessness, and community welfare charities:
Refunds up to €20: If the balance on your account is under €20, then, with your prior agreement and consent, it will be donated to our charity initiative.
Refunds between €20 and €50: If the balance is between €20 and €50, we will obtain your prior agreement and consent. However, since it is over €20, we will also send you a confirmation email to advise you of the outstanding balance and ask if you would like to receive the money back. If not, it will be donated to the Charity Initiative.
Refunds over €50: If the balance is over €50, it will be automatically refunded to you.
Each time a client donates the small refund, we also contribute to the charity fund.
Even small amounts, when combined, can make a big impact.
For example, 1,000 small surpluses could generate €10,000 to €30,000.
With Jacob Law LLP’s contribution, the total donation could range from €20,000 to €60,000.
Part of the funds will be donated throughout the year, with larger contributions made each December, when the need for charitable support is greatest, ensuring the maximum impact for the community.
Jacob Law LLP maintains, and will continue to maintain, full transparency by sharing quarterly and annual summaries, client notifications, and detailed accounting records regularly on our website and social media to show how every contribution helps.
We will proudly add a contribution, helping turn collective generosity into meaningful support for those in need.
Right of Place – Second Chance: Supporting Survivors of Institutional Child Abuse and their families on their journey to Truth, Justice and Healing. They provide practical help and offer a forum for communication, information, validation, peer support, and encouragement.
The group is based in Waterford and is led by Siobhan Byrne, who welcomed Jacob Law’s Practice Manager Marianne Reynolds and Brand Communication Manager Marija Koporcic, on 5th March, to meet the Survivors and participate in their art session. We brought lots of art supplies for the group, and it was amazing to see how small contributions from our clients, combined with our own, can be so meaningful.
The Jacob Law LLP Charity Initiative proudly supports Waterford Marine Search and Rescue – a volunteer-led emergency service providing 24/7 search, rescue, recovery, and suicide prevention operations across Waterford since 2010.
Founded by Declan and Darryl Barry, WMSAR has grown to over 50 dedicated volunteers and operates a fleet of rescue and recovery boats across the River Suir and surrounding waterways.
The Jacob Law LLP Charity Initiative is honoured to support the life-saving work and commitment of WMSAR and its volunteers.
Jacob Law LLP is proud to support the Waterford Food Bank, a vital community organisation dedicated to supporting individuals and families experiencing food insecurity across Waterford City.
Established in 2017 as part of the FoodCloud initiative and supported through FEAD funding alongside donations from local individuals and businesses, the Food Bank plays an essential role in providing ongoing food assistance throughout the community.
Each week, it distributes food parcels to over 250 families and operates school breakfast clubs supporting 165 children, helping ensure children start their school day with access to a nutritious meal. The organisation also delivers a range of seasonal and community-focused initiatives that provide additional support to those most in need.
