ClientEarth home

ClientEarth gives me the opportunity to practice law in a unique way: deploying my skills as a lawyer in pursuit of a more general public interest on a non-profit basis. The chemicals' regulatory framework is a particularly challenging area of law to work with as it raises complex issues: scientific uncertainty, data unavailability and the difficult dilemma of balancing benefits to society versus risks to public health and the environment.
