Lunch-time webinar organised by The Legal Sustainability Alliance The energy market and its diverse mix of traditional and renewable energy sources, regulatory changes, and evolving consumer demands all affect the global economy and the business of a law firm.

Speakers are:
Kit Dixon is Head of Policy and Regulation at Good Energy

Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change & the Environment is hosting this hybrid public lecture: “The Climate Change Act at 15: UK Climate Action at a Crossroads”.
The event will provide an opportunity to reflect on the role that the Climate Change Act has played in driving climate policy in the UK since it was first passed in 2008. And will be asking what the Act might mean in the face of decreased ambition to climate policy measures announced by the Prime Minister in September of last year.
The Act has also impacted UK Courts. There are now more than 60 legal cases filed in the UK that mention the Act, including the case of Friends of the Earth v Heathrow Ltd, R. (on the application of Cox) v Oil and Gas Authority, and the more recent Friends of the Earth v Secretary of State for BEIS (Net Zero challenge). Such cases have met with varying degrees of success, but there is no doubt that they have had a major impact on decision-making on climate change across the UK.

Brought to you by LEGALEX, , this event is a must attend event built specifically for the senior leadership of in-house legal teams.
Companies once built in-house legal teams simply to provide legal advice, but the world of legal operations has changed forever and in-house teams are now expected to drive business objectives, define strategy, mitigate risk and support commercial outcomes all against a shifting and sometimes chaotic geopolitical landscape. These changing expectations have dramatically increased workloads and in turn the appetite for technology based solutions to help with the workload. Company culture, ethics, safeguarding independence and regulatory complexity are all, also, pressing concerns for in-house teams. This summit will aim to address all of these issues and provide real world, actionable insight from world class experts.
