Six Hausfeld lawyers recognised in the formal Pro Bono Recognition List
With solicitors' and barristers' individual pro-bono contributions often unrecognised, this initiative celebrates the commitment and time of at least 25 hours per year given to provide free legal advice and representation in England & Wales.
This initiative support by the Law Society, the Bar Council and all major pro bono organisations, which was launched under the patronage of The Lady Chief Justice of England and Wales, The Baroness Carr of Walton-on-the-Hill. The recognition list is now published annually.
In 2025, we participate in three impactful pro bono volunteering initiatives offering lawyers and paralegals opportunities to make a meaningful difference. Through the Queen Mary Legal Advice Centre (QMLAC), volunteers mentor Queen Mary students in providing free legal advice to the public. At the Royal Courts of Justice (RCJ) Advice Centre, volunteers deliver procedural guidance to individuals navigating civil court cases. Finally, the LawWorks Unpaid Wages Project addresses wage theft by supporting vulnerable individuals in employment disputes, including tribunal representation and settlement negotiations.
The initiatives are in addition to the social justice work we do where we work closely with charities and NGOs. Improving access to justice for individuals and businesses is at the core of what Hausfeld does and aligns with our commitment to giving back to the communities in which we live. Pro bono work should not be a replacement for legal aid, but it is a valuable and intrinsic part of our justice system, working alongside the advice sector.
Congratulations to Ingrid Gubbay, Hana Tawfik, Jonathan Amior, Alex Cooper, Lisa Amrani and Colum Tremayne for their deserved inclusion in the list.
