This is the second year in a row that the firm has won the prestigious accolade in recognition of its market leading work and expertise in the critical area of project-based carbon markets and climate finance.
Philip Lee LLP works with clients on projects that conserve and restore natural carbon sinks around the globe, deploying technological solutions to reduce emissions or remove carbon from the atmosphere, protect and enhance biodiversity and support livelihoods in local communities.

Commenting on this award, Lev Gantly (Partner) said “We are deeply honoured by the trust and continued confidence that our clients have placed in us and our capabilities. This is an essential field, one that will undoubtedly expand significantly in both project scale and investment volume in the years to come.”
Anna Hickey (Partner) said “We pride ourselves on being legal advisors to clients who share our values – these values include taking all measures necessary to align economic development with the goals of the Paris Agreement and the Montreal Convention on Biological Diversity. As well as private sector clients we are advising governments and trade bodies on jurisdictional-level projects and the emerging international law framework.”
Leading expert and consultant to Philip Lee LLP, Simon Puleston Jones said: “The subject of decarbonisation has well and truly entered the national and international consciousness. Societally and environmentally, standing still is no longer an option. Corporates understand this and want to be better informed to make transformative decisions that move the dial. That’s why the fact-based, expertise-driven approach adopted by Philip Lee is in demand and seen as an exemplar of best practice.”
