I’m delighted to be named in the 2025 Pro Bono Recognition List of England & Wales. I always think it’s a privilege to have a skill that can be put to the use of others. The congratulations email says “Each and every lawyer who appears on the Recognition List…has provided at least 25 hours of legal pro bono last year, with many offering substantially more than that. Those lawyers follow the long tradition of the legal profession in volunteering their time to provide free legal assistance to individuals and charities…Pro bono is not a substitute for legal aid, but it is a valuable part of our system of justice, working alongside the advice sector. The judiciary sees first-hand how pro bono advice and representation helps those who might not otherwise receive legal assistance”.
