The Power of Good, our popular podcast series, explores social value in its many forms – how it's created, why it's important and the sheer power of giving back to our communities and our planet.

In this episode, hosted by Partner Anna Phillips, our guests explore the launch of Law Beats Cancer, an industry-wide initiative bringing together the UK's legal profession to support Cancer Research UK and accelerate life-saving cancer research.

Anna is joined by Claudia Nicholls, Executive Director of Marketing, Fundraising and Engagement at Cancer Research UK, alongside Duncan Batchelor, Partner at Norton Rose Fulbright and Chair of the Board of Law Beats Cancer, and Jenny Leahy, Partner at Freshfields and Board Member of Law Beats Cancer.

The story behind Law Beats Cancer

Born from personal experiences of loss, hope and resilience, Law Beats Cancer brings together solicitors, barristers and in-house legal teams in support of Cancer Research UK.

Rather than relying on traditional fundraising alone, the movement aims to harness the legal profession's greatest strengths: its people, networks, influence and shared commitment to making a difference.

Why this conversation matters?

Nearly one in two people will face cancer during their lifetime. Yet thanks to decades of research, cancer survival rates in the UK have doubled over the last 50 years, and breakthroughs in prevention, early detection and treatment continue to transform lives.

This episode shines a light on the groundbreaking work being driven by Cancer Research UK, from vaccines that prevent cancer before it starts to innovative technologies that could make early diagnosis more accessible for everyone.

What you'll hear in this episode

As Cancer Research UK continues to drive progress, every breakthrough brings us closer to a future where more cancers are prevented, detected earlier and treated more effectively.

In Claudia Nicholls' words 'Research is progress and progress is hope.'
