Partner, Weightmans

I studied Environmental Biology before converting to Law. I have been fortunate enough to pursue a career primarily as an environmental lawyer for over 20 years. In that time I have worked at some great firms with some great people supporting clients with a diverse range of matters that have enabled me to keep my finger on the pulse of the ever changing environmental regulatory landscape at a global, European and UK level. I have been to the Court of Appeal a few times and have worked on some of the most high profile and significant issues and developments we have seen in the UK environmental arena. Highlights include working as part of the Broadway Initiative to support the development of the Environment Act 2021. I help to lead my firm’s ESG program and have been fortunate enough to help a number of clients with their holistic ESG frameworks, while also supporting them with their specific ESG needs. I regularly speak and publish articles on ESG topics and am proud to be a Fellow of IEMA.
