Haynes Boone is pleased to announce that six lawyers in its London office have been named to the 2026 Pro Bono Recognition List, which honors legal professionals across England and Wales who have dedicated 25 or more hours to pro bono work over the past year.

The Haynes Boone lawyers recognized include Partners Andreas Dracoulis and Geraldine Palfreman-Pigot, Counsel Jonathan Morton and Associates Mina-Marie Doherty, Christopher Orford and Jack Spence. This marks a debut on the list for five of the firm’s lawyers, with Palfreman-Pigot earning the distinction for the second time.

“We are proud to see our London colleagues recognized for their pro bono contributions, which reflects the firm-wide commitment to serving our communities in impactful ways,” said Haynes Boone Pro Bono Counsel Rachel Elkin. “This recognition highlights how our lawyers are collectively dedicating their time and skills supporting meaningful causes around the world.”

Established under the sponsorship of the Attorney General’s Pro Bono Committee and supported by leading legal organizations, the Pro Bono Recognition List celebrates lawyers who have made meaningful contributions to expanding access to justice. 

Haynes Boone’s London attorneys contributed to a range of impactful matters over the past year, including advising on leasing projects and a construction dispute for a social enterprise that helps prisoners and individuals transitioning out of prison secure employment. The team also represented claimants in employment tribunal disputes involving discrimination and unpaid wages.

“We are proud to see our London colleagues recognized for their commitment to pro bono work and the communities they serve,” said London Office Managing Partner Nick Davis. “Their efforts reflect the firm’s broader dedication to expanding access to justice and delivering meaningful support to those who need it most.”
