Mon Mar 25 2019Diversity
On 25 March 2019, President Tim Game SC appointed Andrew Pickles SC as a NSW Bar Advocate for Change for a period of three years.
The purpose of the Advocates for Change program is to provide role models who are excellent practitioners and who, through the example of what they do and say in their professional lives as barristers, represent the full width of diversity and inclusion that the NSW Bar Association wishes to promote at the Bar.
Through Andrew’s work at the Bar and the NSW community has demonstrated a commitment to LGBTI diversity and inclusion and it is hoped that his appointment as NSW Bar Advocate for Change will contribute to the advancement of LGBTI inclusion and diversity at the NSW Bar.
As an Advocate for Change, Andrew has agreed to participate in the formulation of strategies to promote equality, diversity and inclusion at the NSW Bar.
There may be three Advocates for Change serving at any one time. He joins Advocates for Change, Jane Needham SC and Hament Dhanji SC who were appointed in June 2017.
