Kate Oliver, David Disney, Kenny Shealey, Shaun Williams and Laura Bennett recently attended the Legal Aid Lawyer of the Year Awards 2018 in London. It was a fantastic experience and a great opportunity to listen to a range of inspiring stories from those on the “front line” providing legal aid services and really helped us understand and appreciate the pressures experienced by all legal aid practitioners in current times. Congratulations to all the winners and runners up – your stories are humbling and we are full of admiration for the work you do. Great opportunity too to catch up with colleagues, old and new – we even managed to share a KFC at midnight on the way back to Brick Lane! A good night was had by all.
