JBKC Pro Bono Advocate Winner

We are delighted to announce that Justin Bates KC has been awarded Pro Bono KC of the Year at the 2026 Pro Bono Awards.

The award recognises Justin’s exceptional commitment to pro bono work and his continued dedication to improving access to justice for those who might otherwise be unable to secure legal support. Over many years, he has generously contributed his time, advocacy, and expertise to helping individuals and organisations through pro bono representation and advice.

We are also proud that Landmark Chambers was commended in recognition of its wider commitment to pro bono work and access to justice initiatives.

Justin Bates KC said, “It is an honour to receive this award. Pro bono work is an important part of the profession, and I have been fortunate to work alongside many dedicated colleagues and organisations committed to improving access to justice. I am very grateful for their support and collaboration over the years.”

This recognition is thoroughly deserved and reflects not only Justin’s outstanding ability as an advocate, but also his unwavering commitment to public service and the wider community.
