We are delighted to share that 11 members of The 36 Group have been named on the inaugural Pro Bono Recognition List, published this morning.

This prestigious list, launched under the sponsorship of the Attorney General’s Pro Bono Committee and endorsed by the Lady Chief Justice, highlights legal professionals across England and Wales who have dedicated 25+ hours to pro bono work over the past year.

Congratulations to our listed barristers: Samuel Skinner KC, Paul Infield, Amy Childs, Sandra Akinbolu, Karen Reid, Jennifer Lanigan, Abiodun Michael Olatokun FRSA, Kakoly Pandé, Emma Christie, Shyam Thakerar and Shahead Ghani Miah.

Their recognition reflects not only their individual dedication, but also The 36 Group’s ongoing commitment to access to justice and supporting those in need. With support from the Bar Council, Law Society, and leading pro bono organisations, this initiative celebrates the powerful impact of legal volunteering across the profession.
