What is the Chambers DEI Champions rankings?
Chambers UK introduced a DEI Champions table for the first time in the 2023 guide, which included nine lawyers.
The table is designed to reward lawyers who are using their positions to make the world a fairer place.
They all focus on a section of social that is in some way vulnerable, or perhaps has a protected characteristic. Examples include Lisa Lunt, a product liability lawyer raising awareness of the issues surrounding transvaginal mesh; John Vassiliou and Alex Piletska, who helped create the Ukraine Advice Project, which helps Ukrainian refugees with immigration issues; Scott Halliday in Leeds is a family lawyer who is known for his representation of families with a trans parent or a trans child.
Several more lawyers will be joining these ranks in Chambers UK 2024, including one who is focused on the experience of young people in custody and another who focuses heavily on the plight of sex-trafficked women.

Nominate a peer for consideration in the Chambers DEI Champions table
You can now nominate a peer for consideration by filling in a brief form here.
As before, this table is not for law firms with internal initiatives, such as work experience schemes. This is for lawyers who use the provision of legal advice (paid or pro bono) to help a specific group of people. They may have protected characteristics but not necessarily (for example, children). We are proud to have a table that recognises these lawyers.
