Congratulations to Lucy Masoud - 33 Bedford Row Family Barrister - for being recognised as a finalist in this year's Legal Aid Lawyer of the Year Awards! 

Lucy has a busy a practice in all areas of children law – both public and private law, and cases concerning domestic abuse. On top of this, Lucy has dedicated much of her time to pro bono work, advising those who need it, particularly through her work with the Faisel Luke Pro Bono Project.

The Legal Aid Practitioner's Group CEO, Chris Minnoch, says:

'Reading about the achievements of this year's finalists really tells you everything you need to know about the breadth, depth and importance of the work done by those on the legal aid frontline. And they do so despite the considerable barriers presented by the legal aid scheme, such as low fees and the recent data breach impacting on all areas of legal aid work. Their nominations are a testament to the professionalism, resilience and expertise, not just to them, but of the entire social justice sector. We at LAPG send our warmest congratulations to everyone shortlisted.'
