About

Provided by Allens

Climate change has evolved from a regulatory issue to a multifaceted legal challenge, encompassing climate litigation, corporate governance and disclosure, shareholder action, project approvals, and more. Allens has a multidisciplinary team that combines technical excellence with a deep understanding of evolving stakeholder expectations on climate change.

Our climate change advisers across various legal disciplines are ready to support our clients in implementing strategies for a successful transition to a low carbon economy. We can provide strategic advice and guidance across the full range of climate change issues including: governance and disclosure, compliance advisory, climate litigation, carbon offsets, competition and consumer issues, renewable energy procurement, project approvals and clean energy investments.

Allens has advised on some of the most important mandates in Australia, including assisting major Australian banks and major listed companies with their net zero transition plans, advising on landmark climate litigation for multiple clients, advising major funds clients on greenwashing investigations by Australia's corporate regulator, and assisting clients to expand their investment in carbon markets and nature-based solutions. Our role as trusted adviser to a significant number of ASX20 companies and major super funds in relation to climate change issues sets us apart from our peers.
