17th April 2024
3PB Barristers (3 Paper Buildings) is delighted to have been shortlisted for the Pro Bono Chambers of the Year award at this year’s Bar Pro Bono Awards. These awards are an annual event to recognise the contribution and success of individuals and chambers who do pro bono legal work. The events are broken down into nine categories celebrating legal professionals, chambers and social initiatives.
The Bar Pro Bono Awards are organised by Advocate (link), the Bar Council’s pro bono charity, who ensure free legal help is offered from its 4,500 barristers to those otherwise unable to obtain legal aid and cannot afford to pay. 3PB has three Pro Bono Champions – Mariya Peykova, Mattis Krumins and Katherine Anderson. This year's Bar Pro Bono Awards are sponsored by LexisNexis.
The winners will be announced at the awards evening on Wednesday 8 May 2024.
Previous winners of the Advocate Bar Pro Bono Awards include 3PB’s Charity Partner Bridging the Bar, which has 3PB’s Aaron Mayers as its Vice Chair.
