Emotions ran high at today’s Lampard Inquiry.

Families of those who died under #EssexMentalHealth services shared their anger over repeated failings. Our Partner Nina Ali told @itvanglia the system needs urgent, comprehensive reform and temporary measures are not enough.

After 48 years at the helm, our founder Patrick Allen retires this month.

In 1976 Patrick, then an articled clerk, planned the formation of a law firm with a clear mission to use the law to fight injustice and help people defend and assert their rights in progressive causes. The firm opened for business in September 1977 on Camden High Street, Patrick has since steadily built it to its present state employing over 275 people and a record of ground breaking cases.

His career has shaped not just HJA, but the legal landscape, from landmark disaster cases to national campaigns for justice. His impact is lasting, and his legacy runs through everything we do.

As he turns the page to a new chapter, we say thank you for a lifetime of leadership and integrity.

Mahatma Gandhi, a lawyer by training, a leader by conviction.

Leader of a movement grounded in non-violent civil disobedience that ultimately achieved India’s independence from British rule. His influence goes far beyond politics, with ideas on justice, civil rights, and peaceful resistance continuing to resonate across movements and borders to this day.

His story is a reminder that true power often lies in peaceful resistance.

Rabindranath Tagore was more than a poet, he was a cultural bridge between East and West.

Tagore was the first non-European Nobel Laureate in Literature and a global advocate for multiculturalism. His words inspired generations, while his travels sparked dialogue on education, aesthetics, and the spiritual heritage of India.

He rejected nationalism, instead championing a universal humanism that still resonates today.
A true embodiment of the ‘Routes of Influence’ strand in this year’s South Asian Heritage Month.

Anandi Gopal Joshi broke barriers and made history at just 19.

As one of the first Indian women to earn a degree in Western medicine, Anandi’s path defied tradition and expectation. Travelling to the U.S. for education, she fought through cultural norms and ill health to pursue a purpose greater than herself.

Her legacy lives in every young girl in South Asia who dares to dream beyond her circumstances.

A powerful story of courage, purpose, and transformation.

Cornelia Sorabji wasn’t just the first, she was a force for change.

As the first woman to practise law in both India and Britain, she carved a path for generations of women in the legal profession. But Sorabji didn’t stop there, she worked tirelessly for women unable to represent themselves, especially those in purdah.

A story of brilliance, bravery, and a legacy worth celebrating.

This South Asian Heritage Month we celebrate identity, movement, and legacy.

This year’s theme, ‘Roots to Routes’, is an invitation to look back at where we come from, and how the journeys of our ancestors, families, and communities continue to shape our present and future.

Through the lens of migration, identity, culture and community, we explore how stories from South Asia are woven into the fabric of British life.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll highlight four trailblazers of South Asian heritage who made lasting contributions in law, medicine, literature and activism.

Let’s reflect, connect and honour their legacies together.
