BACFI AGM
22 November 2023
We welcomed Samuel Townend KC to give our pre-AGM talk. He spoke about what he feels are the priorities for his year as Chair of the Bar Council in 2024. He covered aspects such as the court backlog, the increase in the use of mediation in cases, the Bar Council looking at a matched funding scheme to provide pupillages in the public sector, a proposed scheme for those returning to the Bar after time away (such as provided by Middle Temple) which would provide mentoring and support and he was keen to point out how the Bar is a world leader for legal services and needs to be invested in to hold up the reputation it currently enjoys. We look forward to working with him during his time as Chair.
The AGM business followed with Gaynor Wood being re-elected as Chair and Ian Brookes-Howells as Senior Vice Chair. Sharon Blackman OBE, David Bunting and James Kitching were elected as Junior Vice Chairs and Ryan Porter, Sara George and Shahmeen Purdasy were re-elected onto the General Committee. Ian Brookes-Howells was also elected as a Vice President.
