London Legal Walk approaches

The capital’s legal community is gearing up for the London Legal Walk, set to take place on 13 June.

With more than 700 organisations already registered, this year’s perambulation is likely to be the largest since the annual event began in 2003. The always-entertaining event attracts folk from all facets of legal life—Supreme Court justices, legal marketers, paralegals, prosecutors, IT experts, City lawyers and more—making it one of the biggest days in the legal calendar.

Run by the London Legal Support Trust, it raises hundreds of thousands each year for legal advice charities.
