RLC members featured in 2026 Pro Bono Recognition List 

Congratulations to Jeremy Benson KC, Valerie Charbit, Andrew Herd and Alex Benn on being recognised in the 2026 Pro Bono Recognition List. This honour highlights their commitment to delivering 25+ hours of pro bono legal work over the past year—making a real difference to those in need of access to justice.

Lady Chief Justice of England and Wales, The Baroness Carr of Walton-on-the-Hill and Patron of the list said:
“Pro bono is not a substitute for legal aid, but it is a valuable part of our system of justice, working alongside the advice sector. The judiciary sees first-hand how pro bono advice and representation helps those who might not otherwise receive legal assistance. I hope that recognition on the List encourages the legal profession to continue its commitment to providing pro bono help to those in need.”

Social responsibility and volunteering has always been an integral part of Chambers’ culture. RLC members continue to serve local communities, improving lives and working pro bono to support a wide range of charitable causes including ELBA, Clean Break, Legally Lifelong and Young Citizens to name just a few.
