I believe that law is at its most exciting and rewarding when being used as a tool to drive positive and long-term change. ClientEarth is unique in its commitment to instigating change in this way in order to protect the health of people and the environment. I am extremely lucky to have the opportunity to be a part of that, and to work alongside a team of such talented and diverse individuals.
