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.
