2021 Denning Lecture
8th December 2021
We were very pleased to welcome Amanda Pinto QC to deliver the 2021 Denning Lecture on 8th December. Amanda was a great supporter of BACFI during her chairmanship of the Bar Council in 2020. Her lecture, “CEOs, crimes, and corporate responsibility” was very relevant to many BACFI members. A discussion with Patrick Rappo, a Vice President of BACFI, followed covering DPAs and various other issues Amanda had spoken about. Amanda’s lecture can be found HERE and the recording of the whole event can be found HERE.
The BACFI Fellowship Award was presented to Tricia Howse CBE. Tricia is a Vice President of BACFI and former Chair who has campaigned long and hard for equal rights for the Employed Bar and is a very worthy recipient of the award. Tricia was a BACFI committee member for 16 years during which time she was involved with lobbying the Bar Standards Board for clarification of the Rules applying to Employed and Unregistered Barristers and tackling what she felt were unfair discrepancies in the Rules between employed and self-employed barristers. This involved many meetings with both Bar Council and Bar Standards Board representatives where she wasn’t afraid to put across her views! She was also always happy to lend her voice to any members who needed a hand to navigate their way through the barriers to their practice. Tricia was involved in drafting responses to many consultations on the Rules and various other topics. She is a Bencher of Gray’s Inn where she continues to forcefully advocate for the Employed Bar.
Thank you to Marque Wealth Management for their generous sponsorship.
