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.


Lawyers for Nature is proud to be associated with UKELA (UK Environmental Law Association), the leading membership organisation for anyone interested in environmental law. Their aim is to improve understanding and awareness of environmental law - to make better law for the environment. We encourage you to subscribe to their newsletter and become a member for a range of benefits.

The concept of Rights of Nature challenges the way many human beings see the world, a mindset of the natural environment being seen, either actively or passively, as a commodity to be dominated and exploited for the sake of profit or consumption. This idea is deeply encoded in global institutions, including our anthropocentric legal systems. Rights of Nature proposes a shift in our way of thinking about the complex interrelations between humans and nature.
