The firm has strong foundations with BREEAM excellent rated offices and already completed the switch to 100% renewably-sourced electricity at all offices.

In July 22 the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) completed verification of the firm’s science-based targets, confirming a pathway for the reduction of (direct) Scope 1 & 2 emissions and all significant (indirect) Scope 3 emissions by 50% by 2030, against a 2019 base-year.

The firm has invested in working with carbon accounting and carbon offset experts and has nurtured a number of external collaborations including participation in the Chancery Lane Project and joining the Net Zero Lawyers Alliance.

At the same time, the firm has continued to cement its reputation as a well-respected leader for legal advice in environmental and low-carbon projects, establishing a Net Zero Services cross-sector team to assist its clients in driving decarbonisation in the key sectors of energy, transport, the built environment and land use and food production.
