Safe Practice Support Initiative
The legal profession must be a place of dignity, mentorship, and mutual respect.
Recent conversations have highlighted painful experiences faced by young lawyers — particularly young women — involving harassment, intimidation, coercion, and abuse of power within professional spaces.
Silence should never be the price of ambition.
As part of my commitment to a safer and more accountable Bar, I am establishing this Confidential Support & Referral Platform to provide a safe space for young lawyers to seek support and guidance.
Who is this for?
- Pupils and trainee advocates
- Young lawyers
- Interns in law firms or legal institutions
- Any advocate experiencing harassment or professional misconduct

You may submit your experience.
What This Platform Provides
This platform is focused on support and protection. It does not publish allegations, conduct investigations, or determine guilt.
- If you choose to provide contact information:
- Your submission will be reviewed by a small, confidential support team.
- You will be contacted privately.
- You may be referred to an independent, licensed counsellor.
- You will be guided on formal reporting options available through appropriate legal and institutional channels — if you choose to pursue them.
If you submit anonymously:
- Your experience will be received and documented.
- You may still access listed support resources.
- No identifying action will be taken.
This platform does not replace formal complaint or disciplinary mechanisms within LSK or other institutions.
It does not:
- Publicly name individuals
- Determine liability
- Substitute official investigations
It is a support and referral mechanism grounded in confidentiality, dignity, and respect for due process.
A safe Bar is not optional — it is foundational.
If entrusted with leadership, I commit to:
- Institutionalizing confidential support systems within LSK
- Strengthening reporting protections
- Promoting zero tolerance for harassment and abuse of power
- Ensuring that young lawyers can grow in environments of safety and respect
Professional excellence must never come at the cost of personal dignity.
