We are delighted that our marketing assistant Siobhan Samuel won ‘pro bono chambers' professional of the year’ at Advocate’s 2025 Bar Pro Bono awards yesterday.
Since Siobhan joined chambers in April 2024, she has been heavily involved in pro bono initiatives. Most notably, she has forged partnerships for us with various pro bono organisations including Not Beyond Redemption (providing family law advice and representation to mothers in prison) and Action for Children’s London Advocacy Service (which supports children in contact with social services).
Away from chambers, Siobhan has volunteered with Advocate, helping the casework team with applications for family law advice and representation. She also supports Advocate with ad-hoc marketing activities.
