Submissions have opened for the 2025 Pro Bono Recognition List of England and Wales.

The list, which is open to lawyers who have completed 25 or more hours of pro bono work, launched last year with more than 3,750 solicitors and barristers featured. This year’s list will also include chartered legal executives, Solicitors Registration Authority-registered foreign lawyers, and registered European lawyers.

Baroness Sue Carr, Lady Chief Justice, said: ‘I am keen that this initiative continue to recognise all those lawyers who give their time pro bono to help others and make a difference in their community.’

Apply by 7 March here.
