In 2007, the winner in this category was Mahnaz Malik, a lawyer who impressed the panel of judges with her initiative to set up the “Project Advocate” programme at Simmons & Simmons, aiming at providing legal representation to children detained in Pakistani jails. Last year, other 9 individuals stood out in this category, including the following ones: Jim Rice, Partner at Linklaters; Glen James, Partner at Slaughter and May; Chris Penn, General Counsel at Clifford Chance; Tony Angel, Managing Partner at Linklaters etc.
