We provide frontline legal services – tailored advice, professional representation and specific legal education to people and organisations defending our life-sustaining oceans, biodiverse forests, campaigning locally, or calling for stronger action on climate change.
We principally work in the areas of criminal law, administrative and constitutional law, tort law, anti-discrimination and human rights law. We also assist defenders who want to hold governments and police accountable for their actions by using courts and other mechanisms like complaints to regulators and authorities.
We help climate and environmental defenders who are facing threats and intimidation because of their activism from governments, businesses or individuals. These are also known as SLAPP (Strategic Litigation Against Public Participation) cases.
Well-connected in the legal profession, we make referrals to relevant services for matters to do with environment and planning law, native title or land rights, climate, land or property law, and corporate accountability.
If you are a climate defender or organiser who needs legal assistance or advice, please call or email us for help.
