Please accept my deepest condolences. Though words are never enough in moments…

Thank you 33 Bedford Row 🙏🏾

So blessed and grateful for the outpouring of love and support from not only my own Chambers, but previous Chambers, and across the Bar community.

This week my kind, gentle friend Mark passed away suddenly. He had a real talent for creating beauty and generous hospitality.

I know the world can feel pretty tough but take some time to appreciate the people around you, help them feel loved and share some of his spirit 🙏🏻
