The lawyers and team at specialist family law firm Boardman Hawkins & Osborne LLP are taking part in the Great Legal Bake-off. This is a nationally organised event, raising much needed funds for free legal advice charities. BH&O believe that everyone in our society should have access to legal advice where possible, and the legal aid cuts from a few years ago have made this more and more difficult. As a result, legal advice charities are struggling in an environment of more cuts, against a background of greater demand. The team at BH&O recently took part in the Oxford Legal Walk, and this will be the second year they have taken part in the Great Legal Bake-off. Their event is taking place at their Abingdon based offices on Wednesday 12th February when they will be selling cakes and bakes for two local charities; Abingdon Citizens Advice and Flag DV (a legal advice charity operating across the Thames Valley offering advice to the victims of domestic abuse). Partner Ruth Hawkins confirms “This marks the firm’s strong commitment to supporting our local community, and to giving something back.”
