What the Team is Known For
Twenty Essex boasts a strong environmental team of barristers who specialise in international environmental law. The barristers regularly work on large-scale, international climate cases, often for claimants. One source notes that it is a "very fine set" and a "heavyweight" in this field. Members of Twenty Essex have acted on a challenge against the States of Uganda and Tanzania regarding the construction of a pipeline likely to cause habitat destruction, and barristers have represented WWF in a case concerning whether climate change is a form of pollution under the law of the sea. The set bolsters its environmental practice with a well-regarded energy practice.
Arron Zitver, Christopher Theobald and Anthony Caroll are the practice directors for this set.
