Listen "The Burning Question - Should Law Firms Act for Fossil Fuels?"

Episode Synopsis

Leading UK and international law firms continue to earn millions from fossil fuel related transactions. Meanwhile law students are calling for action– will the student spotlight cause firms to think again or is it hopelessly naive to think anything will change? Do firms care? Episode 3 of the Sustainable Law Podcast explores the tricky issue of law firms who work with the fossil fuel industry and how that is affecting student recruitment and retention. We spoke to Sophia Adams Bhatti, Head of Purpose and Impact at global law firm Simmons and Simmons and Haley Czarnek, National Director of Law Students for Climate Accountability. Hosted on Acast.
