Partners from firms including Linklaters, DLA Piper and Cuatrecasas have been recognised as Green Ambassadors in Legal 500‘s inaugural roster of the lawyers championing the green transition across Europe.
The guide, which follows the launch of our UK Green Ambassadors guide last year, has been compiled by research into the most impressive sustainability-focused lawyers across continental Europe, from Germany, France and Benelux to Iberia, Ireland and the Nordics.
The 170-plus lawyers – who all stand out for their green credentials and wider sustainability engagement – include 13 from Linklaters and 12 from DLA Piper, while other well-represented firms include Spain’s Cuatrecasas and Benelux leaders Loyens & Loeff and AKD. Germany is the most strongly represented country, with 25, followed by France, the Netherlands and Denmark.
The names in the list include some of the most senior and well-respected figures across the continent, including Cuatrecasas sustainability head Elisabeth de Nadal, DLA Germany ESG head Ludger Giesberts, Loyens ESG co-chair Vanessa Marquette and Linklaters Germany environmental and planning head Markus Appel.
