Over 1,300 legal professionals from 19 law firms and barristers’ chambers across the UK have raised more than £115,000 for research and care charity Breast Cancer Now as part of this year’s Tour de Law.

Now in its sixth year, the annual cycling challenge sees members of the profession take part in a virtual race from London to Paris and back. This year’s challenge, held on 16 and 17 October, ended with Sidley Austin crowned as Tour de Law Champion for 2019, and Kirkland & Ellis recognised as the top fundraiser.

Claire Pulford, assistant director of events, community and students at Breast Cancer Now, said: ‘We are thrilled with the results from this year’s Tour de Law, and it is exciting to see the event growing year on year. This is one of the largest sporting events in the legal sector, and a spectacular opportunity for law firms and chambers to race against their rivals, whilst raising funds to support women and men diagnosed with breast cancer as well as world-class breast cancer research. Thank you to everyone who took part, we are looking forward to peddling our way to another successful Tour de Law victory once again next year!’
