Introduction to Nature for Lawyers

Are you a lawyer concerned about the state of nature and the meta-crisis we face? Are you interested in using the law as a powerful tool to protect and restore nature? Do you want to understand how you can use your skill set to make a difference?

We welcome you to join us for our first ‘Nature for Lawyers’ event, where we will spend an evening learning about how law might look in a more nature-centric society. 

There will be time in our beautiful community setting to make connections with other like-minded lawyers who are interested in being part of a movement that supports a thriving planet, not just for humans, but for all who coexist alongside us. 

At Lawyers for Nature we hope to reimagine and regenerate the law for nature and we would love to share our practice with you so that you can incorporate this into your own work.

Come and join us to help to protect and restore nature for future generations.

He is a co-founder of Stories For Life and the Reset Narratives Community, he spent two years with the UNFCCC High Level Champions for Climate Action (for COP26). He is currently exploring how communication, collective healing and imagination can help us awaken to what science and wisdom traditions reveal about the nature of reality, and the potential of a more viable and beautiful world.

David Hunter, Senior Counsel at Bates Wells, and author of The Uncertain Solicitor blog will be talking about how you can incorporate nature-centric work into your practice.
