I am an Associate Solicitor practising in Trusts, Estates and Tax at Freeths LLP in Oxford. I have long had a strong interest in issues surrounding ESG and the transition to a sustainable future.
I feel incredibly passionate about issues surrounding ESG and the intersection between law and sustainability and would like to contribute as much as I can in this area as a practising solicitor. I studied environmental law as part of my law degree and I participated heavily in the ESG department at my previous firm and regularly listen to environmental podcasts, read environmental books and watch environmental documentaries (Greta Thunberg, Kate Raworth, Lily Cole, David Attenborough etc.). I managed to secure an interview with Lily Cole on her book, ‘Who Cares Wins: Reasons for Optimism in Our Changing World’ back in 2021 and was thrilled to be able to interview her when we were in the midst of the pandemic. I used to take the minutes for the ESG department monthly meetings and contributed to various projects that they worked on for COP26.
I am also looking into studying an online course/ master’s degree on ESG/ law and sustainability at Oxford University in future. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Kate Raworth's book, 'Doughnut Economics' and look forward to being part of the DEAL Community.
