I was delighted to join Circuit leaders and members of the Bar Council’s Leveson and sentencing working groups to attend a Number 10 reception yesterday hosted by the Lord Chancellor Shabana Mahmood. The event was organised to celebrate the legal services sector and its role in strengthening democracy, contributing to the economy, and supporting the UK’s international reputation.
