Practice Areas

Rae Lindsay specialises in international law, litigation, transnational regulation and risk management. She has a particular focus on business and human rights and other aspects of ESG law. Rae is co-head of the firm's Public International Law and Business and Human Rights practices, and is a member of the Firm's ESG Board.

Rae represents governments, international organisations and multinational corporations across a range of sectors.

Her work increasingly involves matters concerning the human rights impacts of climate change (and the intersections of environmental and social issues).
