Staff member Siobhan Samuel has been shortlisted for ‘Pro Bono Chambers' Professional of the Year’ at Advocate’s 2025 Bar Pro Bono awards.
Siobhan joined chambers in April 2024 and soon became involved in its pro bono initiatives.
Most notably, Siobhan forged a partnership with our charity partner Action for Children’s London Advocacy Service, which supports children in contact with social services. As a result, 7 of our barristers are volunteers supporting the service's advocates pro bono.
Away from chambers, Siobhan has volunteered with Advocate, supporting the casework team on applications for family law advice and representation. She continues to support Advocate with ad-hoc marketing activities.
