It is with enormous sadness that we have learned of the passing of our former colleague and friend, Simon (Spike) Mullings. Simon worked for EDS for over 25 years and during that time assisted hundreds, if not thousands, of clients in fighting homelessness.

As an accomplished lawyer Simon brought a number of high-profile cases but he firmly believed that some of his best work was done under the Legal Help scheme providing much needed advice to the communities of East London.

As a colleague Simon was kind, generous and fun. His commitment to social justice was unwavering and through the pursuit of this Simon became loved by fellow Legal Aid lawyers far and wide. We mourn a great man and send our thoughts and condolences to his family and friends.
