2020 LexisNexis Legal Personality of the Year Ryan Whelan pays tribute to his former client, campaigner Gina Martin, in an NLJ profile this week

The Aberdeen University graduate, now an associate at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, worked pro bono with Martin to help make ‘upskirting’ a criminal offence through the Voyeurism (Offences) Act 2019.

Whelan also highlights the importance of mentorship, particularly for lawyers at the start of their career, and explains why legal aid is an investment. See more at: https://www.newlawjournal.co.uk/content/nlj-profile-ryan-whelan.
