ClarkeKann continues to strengthen its capabilities and commitment to excellence with the launch of its Climate Change and Sustainability Group. The group draws expertise from lawyers in each of the firm’s four practice areas with proven skills and expertise in advising on the many legal issues facing business arising out of the increasing focus on climate change and sustainability.

“Our clients are quickly realising the need to understand and address climate change and sustainability issues, otherwise they risk being left behind by competitors. The launch of the group demonstrates ClarkeKann’s commitment to servicing the full range of our clients’ business needs” said Managing Partner, Michael Sparksman.

The group will advise clients on a range of ‘green’ issues from the impacts and trends of climate change legislation and policy to trade practices risks facing ‘green’ advertising. Our focus is not only the impact of various issues on clients’ business but also on identification of commercial opportunities that might be created for them.

The group formalises and coordinates the firm’s pre-existing climate change and sustainability expertise from its four practise groups allowing us to take a multi-disciplined approach.

We look forward partnering with our client’s to help them identify and master the challenges faced by climate change.
