Our best climate advice from 2024
To help you get ready for 2025
Hi! I’m Matthew Karmel, founder of the planetary lawyer project and Chair of the Environmental and Sustainability Law Group at Offit Kurman. (Any views expressed are my own. Nothing here is legal advice.)
I started my career as an associate with a single pro bono climate client and am now the head of a cutting edge climate-focused practice group at a full-service AMLaw 200 law firm.
I started this newsletter to help you build your own climate-friendly legal career by sharing hard-won lessons from my own career, short interviews with other climate-focused lawyers, legal developments, and relevant job opportunities.
We’ll be back in 2025 to help you do more climate work, no matter your role or experience.
For now, check out the most popular advice we shared in 2024 so you can hit the ground running in the new year.
Thank you for reading, sharing, joining our events, and making this such a great year for climate.
We’ve got huge plans for next year, and will be taking this community to a new level of impact and collaboration.
But for now, rest, recharge, and revisit your personal and professional goals.
See you in 2025
