Freeths lawyers recognised as Green Ambassadors

Penny Simpson, who is the Partner and Head of Environmental Law, and Richard Broadbent, a Director in the Natural Capital Legal Team, are acknowledged for their extensive work aiding various organisations in dealing with environmental regulations and promoting sustainable development. Their expertise extends to advising developers, landowners, and local authorities on projects that focus on biodiversity net gain and other nature-based initiatives. 

Ben Churchill, Freeths’ Director of Responsible Business, expressed pride in their recognition, stating “Penny and Richard are doing exactly the kind of work that matters to our clients: helping them make sense of a fast-changing environmental landscape while keeping sight of their wider commercial ambitions.” He added that the firm being featured in the guide multiple times highlights the quality of their team members working across key areas such as environmental law and clean energy.

Freeths’ representation in the Legal 500 Green Ambassadors Guide for three years showcases their continuous commitment to providing strategic support in navigating the complex environmental landscape and aligns with the firm’s goal of promoting a lower carbon economy through informed legal practices. The focus on sustainable development has proven essential for clients managing environmental statutory requirements while pursuing commercially viable projects in a rapidly evolving market.
