Barristers and Good Neighbours

We want to make a positive impact on the world, while minimising our carbon and waste footprint. Here are some of the ways we are putting this into action.

Waste and carbon reduction

Cycle Scheme: We encourage employee and member bike use by providing storage facilities, as well as grants and loans with which to purchase a bike.

Recycling: We securely recycle paper, computer equipment and ink cartridges, while cutting down on waste by minimising paper use and banning the use of paper cups.

Energy efficiency: We have installed sensor lighting throughout our building and actively seek out energy efficient products and services.

Pro Bono work

We work with the Bar Pro Bono unit to provide legal representation to those with deserving cases who cannot afford to pay for our services. We actively encourage our barristers to take part.

Charity fundraising

We take part in the annual London Legal Walk to raise funds for the London Legal Support Trust, the Free Representation Unit and the Bar Pro Bono Unit. These bodies make a valuable contribution to preventing homelessness, resolving debt problems, gaining care for the elderly and disabled, and fighting exploitation.

We also support the CHICKS children’s charity, which provides free breaks for disadvantaged children all over the UK.
