LawWorks Pro Bono Awards 2010

Headline sponsors:



Supported by:





LawWorks presented their annual Pro Bono Awards at their Ball on Tuesday 15th June at the Gibson Hall, kindly sponsored by Harbour Litigation Funding Ltd and supported by Clyde & Co LLP and Mayer Brown LLP.

Nearly 60 nominations were received across the six categories and the winners were judged by an independent panel consisting of: Des Hudson, Chief Executive of the Law Society, Rabinder Singh QC, barrister at Matrix Chambers and Edward Fennell, journalist and columnist for the Times.  Edward Fennell also presented the awards together with Rebecca Hilsenrath, our Chief Executive.

In several of the Award categories, the judges' marking was particularly close – in some cases just a couple of marks were in it!  We therefore decided to award certificates in a few of these categories
