A legal career in Environmental law is a unique pathway that discovers the notion of sustainable development that strives for greater recognition of significant issues such as pollution to soil, air or water.

Students who decide to pursue a career in environmental law would establish the specialisation of ecological legislation and case law to advocate for protecting communities and the environment, whether by advising clients by taking matters to court, working to reform the law, or developing legal strategies to achieve change. In the wide stance, students interested in environmental law would need a committed drive to protect the environment for the benefit of clients and the broader community.

If the student decides to become an environmental solicitor, significant roles and responsibilities are in place to succeed and uplift the goal of protecting the ecosystem. You may be expected to draw on innovative ways to challenge government decision-making or government intervention points, find legal opportunities for clients and work on developing strategic solutions to environmental issues.

Due to the number of environmental issues, solicitors may be employed in various industries.

This can include:

� Professional, scientific and technical services � Public administration and safety � Government sector � General planning and development � Waste management � Natural resources
