Three Freeths Lawyers have solidified their reputation as  leaders in sustainability,  recognized as Green Ambassadors in this year’s Legal 500 Green Guide.

The Green Guide, which previously highlighted firm-level contributions, now acknowledges individual legal professionals driving sustainability efforts globally. This year, Clare King (Partner and Head of Clean Energy), Penny Simpson (Partner and Head of Environmental Law), and Kirstin Roberts (Sustainability and Waste Director) were celebrated for their impactful contributions to the green transition.

Their inclusion underscores Freeths’ commitment to advancing sustainable practices in the legal sector.

Clare was recognised for her work on major clean energy projects for clients such as Centrica plc and ENGIE, as well as her deep technical knowledge across a range of clean energy technologies.

The Legal 500 praised Penny for her market-leading work with clients in natural environment law and natural capital law. Penny and her team offer market leading solutions to clients who wish to negotiate, or capitalise on, increasingly complex nature protection regulation and all other aspects of environmental law.

As a leading expert in the waste and renewables industry, Kirstin Roberts was highlighted for her sustainability work in guiding publicly listed companies, SMEs and local authorities on waste reduction and re-use.

Commenting on the news, Senior Partner at Freeths Philippa Dempster said: “A huge congratulations to Clare, Penny and Kirstin on this recent accolade which is a real honour for them as individuals and for the firm. I’m incredibly proud of what they have achieved through their career and personal endeavours in driving forward the green agenda.

“With no other firm having more than three lawyers recognised in the Guide, this truly highlights just how highly regarded we are when it comes to helping clients decarbonise and improve their sustainability.”
