By taking part in the 10km London Legal Walk last month, we raised £1,143 for free legal services across London and the South East. Thank you to everyone who helped us achieve our fundraising target to support access to justice.

A team of our barristers are set to take part in the 10km London Legal Walk on Tuesday 17 June. Together with more than 15,000 others, we will walk to raise funds for free legal services across London and the South East. The money raised goes to charities that provide legal advice and representation to people in need.

John McLinden KC and John Critchley, assisted by first-six pupil Andrew Burrell, successfully persuaded the High Court to withdraw the intervention against their client and his firm in Santers Solicitors Limited & Anr v Law Society & The SRA [2024]. The judgment is a rare example of a solicitor overturning an intervention in their practice by the Solicitors Regulation Authority.
John Critchley will speak at a webinar about assisted suicide, the forfeiture rule and relief on Thursday 12 September. He and his 2 co-presenters acted in the 1st and only reported decision involving assisted dying and relief against the forfeiture rule: Ninian v Findlay [2019].
Pupil barristers, Madeleine Southey and Harrison Engler have accepted offers of tenancy with us. They will join us as tenants in September after completing their pupillages.
