Walking for Justice: London Legal Walk 2025

A Fun Team-Building Experience: the solicitors at Josiah-Lake Gardiner (JLG) had a blast at the London Legal Walk 2025! On a warm, sunny evening, the team laced up their walking shoes and hit the London streets. Donning sunglasses against the evening sun, they enjoyed a fun and friendly walk with colleagues.

The JLG team were proud to again take part in this year’s London Legal Walk organised by the London Legal Support Trust (LLST), joining upwards of 19,000 legal professionals from solicitors’ firms, barristers’ chambers, law centres, citizen advice bureaus and other organisations to raise vital funds for free legal advice services.

The London Legal Support Trust is an independent charity that supports and raises funds for free legal advice services in London and the Southeast through the provision of grant funding, supporting sector infrastructure, helping agencies reduce costs and save money via pro bono or discounted schemes.

The LLST believes that access to justice means that people should be able to equally access legal support, advice, and representation if they need to, irrespective of their financial position. Its website records that:  Individuals should be able to fairly seek and achieve remedies for grievances and be able to enforce their economic and social rights, without needing to be in a position of wealth or power. Receiving the legal advice they need makes a huge difference to these people’s lives, while also reducing debt, poverty and homelessness, and combatting discrimination and injustice.

This year’s 10k walk has already raised over £1m (and counting), an incredible achievement that will help ensure access to justice for those who need it most. Rival firms walked side by side, the friendly competition between them being who could raise the most for this worthwhile charity.

For us at JLG, it was fantastic to come together as a team (with our loyal office dog, Rocco, in tow!) to walk the streets of London in support of such an important cause. Though the miles added up and feet might’ve gotten sore by the end, the team spirit was high. The London Legal Walk was more than just a charity event – it was a fantastic team-building experience for the Josiah-Lake Gardiner solicitors. Laughter and camaraderie filled the air as they walked together, supporting a great cause.

This year was the 21st year of the walk. JLG’s solicitors will be on the starting line for the next one.

All in all, it was a fantastic evening of exercise, bonding, and giving back, capped off with pizza and wine for the team.

The solicitors at Josiah-Lake Gardiner can’t wait for the next team outing!
