Lawyers for Nature is primarily a volunteer-based organisation, however recently, we gratefully received funding which allows us to focus on our Rights of Nature and Nature-based Corporate Governance objectives. It’s a very exciting time for the organisation as we seek to progress these cutting-edge legal fields. It also means that we’re hiring for a Research Assistant with an interest in Lawyers for Nature, our mission, and this new fully-funded workstream.
Are you or someone you know interested in this role? Want to work with a progressive, inclusive and remote organisation that cares about real change in defence of the natural world. If the answer is yes, we want to know. Please check this job description, upload a CV and cover letter via this Google form, and a member of the LFN team will be in touch. You can also help in our search to find the right person for the role, by sharing our Twitter and LinkedIn posts, or simply share this page. Thank you!

The Glasgow Leaders’ Declaration on Forests and Land Use, the first major announcement of the COP26, commits 137 countries, including Brazil, China and Indonesia, to “halt and reverse” deforestation by 2030.
Are you a lawyer concerned about the state of nature and the meta-crisis we face? Are you interested in using the law as a powerful tool to protect and restore nature? Do you want to understand how you can use your skill set to make a difference?
Our collaboration with FutureEverything represents an exciting example of how you can redesign governance across a Community Interest Company, so that Nature has a seat at the board table and is embedded into the decision-making fibres of the entire organisation. Our hope is that it inspires other CICs to explore this form of governance.
