Leading UK law firm Freeths has once again demonstrated its leadership in sustainability, with two of its lawyers recognised as Green Ambassadors in the latest edition of the Legal 500 Green Guide – the global benchmark for excellence in environmental and sustainability law.
The Green Ambassadors list celebrates lawyers who are at the forefront of advancing sustainable practices across their fields. Honourees are recognised for their leadership, innovation and measurable contributions to the green transition across sectors and jurisdictions.
Freeths’ waste and sustainability director, Kirstin Roberts, and planning and environment director, Richard Broadbent, have both been commended for their outstanding work driving progress in environmental law and sustainable business practices. Their recognition follows last year’s inclusion of Freeths’ Clare King and Penny Simpson, reinforcing the firm’s continued prominence in this space.
This is the second consecutive year that Kirstin has been named a Green Ambassador. She continues to advise a wide range of public and private sector clients on circular economy strategies, net-zero implementation and waste reduction initiatives. Her deep sector knowledge and practical approach make her a trusted adviser across ESG, renewables and resource management.
Richard’s recognition highlights his integrated approach to planning and environmental law, supporting clients through complex regulatory frameworks with a focus on sustainable development and natural capital. His commercially attuned guidance has helped deliver projects that align economic growth with environmental responsibility and large-scale nature recovery.
Commenting on Kirstin and Richard’s success, Freeths’ director of responsible business Ben Churchill said: “Kirstin and Richard’s inclusion in the Green Guide is a powerful endorsement of the impact they’re making in the field of sustainability. Their work exemplifies the kind of forward-thinking legal support our clients need as they navigate the green transition and reflects not only their individual expertise and commitment to sustainability, but also the values we hold as a B Corp-certified firm.”
