The London Legal Walk
On Monday,
a team of brave (and energetic) walkers from Wainwright & Cummins set out
to walk ten kilometres to raise money for the London Legal Support Trust. This
trust raises funds for free legal advice charities across London and the South
East and believes in the crucial principle of access to justice as a
cornerstone of our society.
Four
walkers from Wainwright & Cummins completed the whole 10km walk: partners
Jonathan Cummins and Rod Jones and solicitors Rozi Brown and Charlotte Image.
In-house barrister Kathleen Mulhern deserves a mention for completing most of
the walk but then heading off to a ‘prior engagement’ – or perhaps to have a
drink and rest her legs! Partner Andrew Wainwright turned up at the end of the
walk to the great joy of the walkers, as he was carrying confit duck burgers as
a reward for all of the effort put in.
It was a
great event, with close to ten thousand walkers completing the whole 10km and
hundreds of thousands of pounds raised to support access to justice. Several
eminent figures walked including Lord Neuberger of the Supreme Court – sporting
a fetching ‘Team Supreme’ t-shirt – Lord Dyson, Master of the Rolls, Dominic
Grieve MP, and Tom Robinson, the eighties musician and social justice activist performed a set at the Law Society.
Our brave team in exceedingly stylish t-shirts.
