Gregory Burke

Gregory Burke is a social entrepreneur and an award-winning barrister dedicated to fighting for disabled people’s rights. In 2002, he launched DisabledGo.com to give disabled people and carers accurate, detailed information to assess for themselves whether a venue would be accessible for them. Rebranded as AccessAble.co.uk in 2018, the site serves more than two million people a year and helps over 400 large organisations to communicate and improve their access. While still serving as full time CEO of DisabledGo.com, he retrained as barrister and now serves as Head of Employment Law at 7 Bedford Row, a leading London barristers’ chambers and a position usually reserved for barristers of 15 years’ experience or more. In 2019, he won the prestigious Chambers & Partners UK Bar award for “an outstanding contribution to Equality and Inclusion” and was identified as a “Future Leader of the Bar”. Gregory regularly trains lawyers on disability equality, disability rights and financial compensation as well as mentoring aspirant disabled barristers.
