London strollers

More than 4,000 lawyers are expected to take to the streets on Monday in the sixth annual London Legal sponsored walk to raise funds for legal advice charities in London and the south east.

The walkers will include law students, more than 80 judges, and more than 250 senior lawyers including 50 QCs and a dozen City firm managing partners.

A joint statement of support from the heads of the professional bodies said: “We are always very proud to support the excellent work that the London Legal Support Trust does and it needs our support, in these difficult financial times, more than ever.”
