At the recent inquest into the death of Nicola 'Nikki' Bulley, Terry Wilcox, of Hudgell Solicitors, and Sophie Cartwright KC, of Deans Court Chambers, were instructed to represent the family on a pro bono basis with the assistance of the charity Advocate and through the ‘Pro Bono Connect Scheme’.
At the end of the hearing, His Majesty’s Senior Coroner Dr James Adeley thanked the legal team and noted that they had undertaken representation of the family “on a pro bono basis because they felt that it was the right thing to do.”
