Active across a number of pro bono and community activities, Richard put his knowledge and experience in the helicopter sector to charitable use as part of Hogan Lovells' citizenship activities. He played a key role advising London's Air Ambulance on a pro bono basis on its acquisition and financing of a second helicopter to provide crucial emergency support for the people of London.
