They aimed to raise $50,000 to support the Arts Law Centre and promote awareness of the legal support the centre provides to Indigenous artists.
However, the firm significantly exceeded its fundraising target. CBP had raised $68,500 as of 22 August, with donations expected to keep coming in.
The funds raised will enable the Arts Law Centre to hire another full-time solicitor to help Indigenous artists protect their rights and grow their practice.
Participants in the challenge included CBP managing partner Dunstan de Souza, deputy managing partner Nick Crennan, and a number of partners, solicitors and support staff. Arts Law Centre CEO Robyn Ayres also took part.
