The Chancery Lane Project: how a global initiative is harnessing legal know-how to help fight climate change
Listen now
Description
In this latest EG podcast, professional & legal editor Sarah Jackman catches up with Becky Annison, Clare Harman Clark and Simone Potter. All three either work for or are contributors to The Chancery Lane Project – a global initiative that sees lawyers and industry professionals collaborate to produce contract clauses that deliver climate solutions. Each clause is peer reviewed and then published free of charge on its website for anyone to use in their legal work. Real estate is no exception and, since the project’s launch in 2019, model clauses such as a residential green lease covenants clause and green assured shorthold tenancy clause have been published for use in property-related documents. Five new real estate clauses are in the pipeline, ranging from adding disclosures on climate change issues into the City of London Law Society Certificate of Title through to clauses encouraging landlords to provide electricity from renewable energy sources. Tune in to hear more about how its collaborative drafting and peer review process works, as well as what’s in store for project going forward. Becky Anniston is the project's director of engagement, Simone Potter is its director of knowledge, while Clare Harman Clark is a senior professional support lawyer at Taylor Wessing and contributor to the project.
