On Sunday 21 September, Allison Clare KC, newly appointed Head of QEB Hollis Whiteman’s Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Committee, and pupil Nora Nanayakkara of QEB Hollis Whiteman spoke at the launch weekend of the BVL Model Law Commission 2025 - a flagship project for the social mobility charity, BVL (Big Voice London).

BVL is dedicated to engaging young people from non-fee-paying schools across England and Wales with law and legal policy, with the aim of improving access and diversity within the legal profession.

Each year, students are divided into groups and tasked with exploring reform in four areas of law. Drawing on their extensive experience in corporate crime, Allison Clare KC and Nora Nanayakkara introduced students to the area of Corporate Offending. Their session formed part of the programme of expert-led talks designed to help students develop a critical understanding of their assigned topic before beginning their own reform projects.

QEB Hollis Whiteman is proud to support projects that champion social mobility and diversity in the law.
