(日本語で同じ内容をこの後に記載しております。)

We have built a global team of corporate and financial law experts specialising in climate risk and decarbonisation across eight offices in Europe, China and the United States – providing the legal framework and tools for the private sector to lead on climate action. We are helping to strengthen corporate climate governance and embed climate change in investment, regulatory and policy decisions around the world.

You will work closely with an expanding team in our new Tokyo office as well as colleagues located in London, Brussels, Beijing and Southeast Asia.

ClientEarth in Japan will be firmly embedded within Japan's social, political, economic and cultural context and will use the law to support accelerated government and private sector leadership on climate change. The Tokyo office brings together Japanese qualified lawyers (bengoshi) with specialised backgrounds in corporate, financial, litigation, energy and / or environmental, as well as other professionals with backgrounds in climate change and communications.
