June Venters KC honoured with Lifetime Achievement Award by Surrey Law Society
8th October 2024
Family barrister and silk June Venters KC won the SLS (Surrey Law Society) Lifetime Achievement Award last week at SLS' annual awards evening at G Live in Guildford. June is one of the foremost lawyers in the UK in public law child care, family law, international child abduction and crime and has acted in many of the most serious cases within these fields of law.
Headline sponsored by wealth management business Evelyn Partners, the SLS Legal Awards were returning for their sixth year and some 300 lawyers and guests celebrated the achievements of some of Surrey Law Society’s 1,100 members.
This Lifetime Achievement Award is given to an individual who has demonstrated an extraordinary contribution to the legal sector.
Congratulations June from all of us at 3PB on this very well-deserved recognition.
This award for June follows the news earlier this week from the 75th anniversary event for women silks, where the Lady Chief Justice paid tribute to June as being the first women solicitor to take silk. She is also shortlisted for Family KC of the Year at the Family Law Awards on 20 November.
If you wish to contact June, please email her at [email protected]. To instruct her - or see about her availability - please email her clerk David Sadler or Rob Leonard on [email protected] or [email protected] or by calling either of them on 020 7583 8055.
