Hamish Fraser and Colleen Cumbers recognised in the Pro Bono Recognition List 2026
21st Apr 2026
Congratulations to Hamish Fraser and Colleen Cumbers who are included in the Pro Bono Recognition List this year.
Advocate would like to thank all chambers professionals and clerks who encouraged barristers to undertake pro bono work and to add their names to this year’s Recognition List. They are extremely grateful for your support.
The message below is from the Lady Chief Justice of England and Wales, The Baroness Carr of Walton-on-the-Hill:
“I am pleased to thank every lawyer who appears on the 2026 Pro Bono Recognition List of England & Wales, of which I am Patron.
Now in its third year, the List recognises solicitors, barristers, chartered legal executives, trade mark attorneys, patent attorneys and registered foreign/European lawyers who provided 25 hours or more pro bono legal assistance over the last year. The initiative is supported by the Law Society, the Bar Council, CILEX and all the major pro bono organisations under the aegis of the Attorney General’s Pro Bono Committee.
The lawyers recognised on the List follow the long tradition of the legal profession in volunteering their time to provide free legal assistance to individuals and charities. It is therefore particularly welcome to see that a number of lawyers have appeared on the List for multiple years, demonstrating their continued commitment to pro bono.”
