We are please to announce that on 5th April at 18:00-19:30, UKELA will be holding a Careers Advice Session with Directors at Lawyers for Nature, Brontie Ansell and Paul Powlesland. Anyone is welcome to attend the free, informal Zoom session, but spaces are limited to 25 so you are encouraged to create a UKELA account and book your spot via this page as soon as possible.
Once Brontie and Paul have spoken, there will be plenty of opportunity to ask any questions so please do come prepared. The sessions will be recorded and made available on the UKELA (UK Environmental Law Association) website so please don't worry if you are unable to join a particular event. We will also aim to host the video ourselves on the Lawyers for Nature website and share on our Discord.

The UK's rivers are in crisis. That much is now widely accepted, and the sewage debate of the past few years has put it firmly in public view. What is less often said is that rivers have no voice at all in the decisions that determine their condition. Those decisions are made in rooms full of professionals, such as regulators, water companies, planners, consultants, all speaking a technical language, in working hours, to each other. It is a serious conversation conducted by serious people, and the river itself is absent from it.
