Member and Goverance Manager, Global Alliance of Impact Lawyers

“It is impressive to see such a strong group of legal leaders dedicating their time and energy to accelerate a just transition and reach net zero”

I am thrilled to join the Global Alliance of Impact Lawyers, as the new Member and Governance Manager.

I come to GAIL with a background in human rights; having worked for a leading human rights law firm in London and studied an MA focusing on business and human rights. I have worked in various support roles with vulnerable groups and communities and volunteered for several international NGOs in an advocacy capacity. And now I am navigating the complex, yet fascinating world of impact law!

When I was first introduced to GAIL, I was immediately drawn to the values and mission of the organisation. However, more than that, I was inspired to see leading lawyers in the impact field, willing to share their knowledge and practices to reach a shared goal.

It is impressive to see such a strong group of legal leaders dedicating their time and energy to accelerate a just transition and reach net zero. I can see that GAIL is really driving to make a change and I am proud to be part of that.

I hope to meet many of you in person at the GAIL Annual Summit 2024 in April. Please come over and say hello!

In the meantime, feel free to reach out to me with any ideas you have on how we can push GAIL’s agenda.

I am joining at such an exciting time and am keen to get stuck in!
