I focus on the role that law and finance play in accelerating climate action.At Quadrature Climate Foundation, I help direct science-led investments to unlock critical climate solutions. We seek to avert and manage the worst impacts of climate change, particularly for those people and ecosystems most vulnerable. I work with partners across sectors on bold, solution-focused legal and financial strategies to mitigate climate risk and drive value and impact in our transition to a net zero, sustainable future. I am also a Visiting Researcher at the National University of Singapore Asia-Pacific Centre for Environmental Law and EW Barker Centre for Law and Business, focusing on the role of corporate and financial law in driving climate action. I have presented in this area to corporate boards, the financial sector, the legal profession, governments, judiciaries and universities around the world. Prior to joining Quadrature Climate Foundation, I was Associate Director, Japan and Southeast Asia at ClientEarth, leading a team of more than 15 law and policy experts working collaboratively to address climate change, accelerate the transition to clean and accessible energy and protect nature in the region. In previous roles at ClientEarth, I led corporate climate litigation in Europe, with my work featured in the Financial Times, Economist and elsewhere and ranked in FT Innovative Lawyers. I earlier specialised in complex corporate and financial dispute resolution at leading law firms in London and New Zealand. I am dual-qualified in New Zealand (non-practising) and England and Wales.

Listed skills include Legal Research, Legal Advice, Litigation, Dispute Resolution, and 11 others.
