Climate Change and Sustainability
How we can help
Our specialist team understands the opportunities, risks and compliance requirements of Australia’s energy transition.
We can help you navigate complex climate regulations, ensuring compliance with the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Scheme, Safeguard Mechanism and other regimes. We stay ahead of policy shifts, engaging with regulators such as APRA, ASIC, ACCC and CER. We also advise on international developments, helping clients capitalise on opportunities under the Paris Agreement’s climate finance and cooperative approaches.
Beyond compliance, our expertise extends to carbon and environmental markets - working with project developers, intermediaries and corporate buyers. We support the development of innovative financial products and decarbonisation projects, ensuring robust climate-related disclosures and effective risk management. Our team also represents clients in climate litigation, helping them anticipate and mitigate legal, financial and reputational risks.
