29 Bedford Row Renews Sponsorship with Queen Mary University of London Bar Society

14 November 2024

29 Bedford Row is proud to renew its sponsorship of the Queen Mary Bar Society (QMBS), furthering its commitment to Equity, Diversity & Inclusion. QMBS provides an important platform dedicated to making the legal profession more representative and reflective of its student population. 

With a student membership that includes 91% from state schools, 62% identifying as Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME), 42% as first-generation university students, and 27% from low-income backgrounds, QMBS is building a community that truly represents the diversity of its student population. As these students join the Bar they will bring new and fresh perspectives to the profession, driving it towards ever greater inclusivity and accessibility. 

Nicholas Allen KC, Joint of Head of Chambers at 29 Bedford Row, said: “Supporting QMBS is not just about partnership; it’s about investing in a future where the legal profession is accessible to talented students from every background. This renewed sponsorship is part of our commitment to making a meaningful difference.”
