Our Charity of the Year: Bow Foodbank

Horizontal Logo Full Colour

Our Charity of the Year this year is Bow Foodbank, a local Tower Hamlets charity that provides emergency food supplies to those who are in crisis due to financial difficulties. The charity offers their clients dignity and understanding within a non-judgmental and welcoming environment.

Through fundraisers, sponsored challenge events, food collections in the office, and volunteering at the Foodbank, we aim to contribute to their mission and help make a difference in the lives of those of those relying on food banks to survive.

HigHer: elevating women in the workplace

elevating women in the workplace
We have established a professional network called HigHer which elevates women and champions equality in the workplace. Driven by a diverse internal committee, HigHer supports women (both inside the firm and within our network of clients and contacts) in excelling in their careers through an annual programme of training and network events.

“I think sometimes women feel more constrained about promoting themselves and putting themselves forward than some of our male counterparts. And it’s nothing to do with ability, it’s just to do with having the confidence. And sometimes you need a bit of a nudge or push in the right direction to make your voice heard. And really, that’s what HigHer is about.”Tania Goodman, Partner and Head of Employment.

Other activities 

Many of our lawyers  and other non-legal professionals serve as trustees or directors for charities and institutions, including many in the field of performing arts.

A number of our lawyers provide free legal advice to members of the community who would otherwise be without legal assistance. At local law centres, evening clinics and the Citizens Advice Bureau, advice is given on housing, employment and family law problems.

Several lawyers also supervise BPP Law School students in their community legal advice clinics.
