617 barristers across England & Wales were celebrated on the second ever Pro Bono Recognition List endorsed by the Lady Chief Justice.
The following Members of Monckton Chambers featured on the list: Reuben Andrews, Alan Bates, Brendan McGurk KC, Cliodhna Kelleher, Jenn Lawrence, Conor Mccarthy, Eric Metcalfe and Hugh Whelan – recognised for their dedication to pro bono work, which this year has seen a 30% increase in barristers featured on the List.
The Pro Bono Recognition List recognises barristers and solicitors who have given 25 or more hours of pro bono legal assistance over the previous calendar year.
Endorsed by its patron The Lady Chief Justice of England & Wales, The Baroness Carr of Walton-on-the-Hill, the Recognition List was set up under the sponsorship of the Attorney General’s Pro Bono Committee, with the support of the Law Society, Bar Council, and all major pro bono legal organisations.
In addition this year, we are delighted that Jenn Lawrence was nominated for the Bar Pro Bono Awards, commending her dedication to pro bono work.
Monckton Chambers continue to support Advocate through being a Silver Circle Pro Bono Patron. We are proud and committed to champion this worthwhile cause, and to support Advocate to continue to provide this important service. Read more here.
