Green Ambassadors: United Kingdom 2026

Caroline May brings longstanding environmental law expertise to her role as Norton Rose Fulbright’s EMEA ESG practice co-head. May complements her experience in toxic tort, pollution incidents, and remediation with a growing practice surrounding sustainability and ESG reporting and environmental and climate harm.

In an ongoing mandate, May is acting for major global logistics provider DP World on the £1.5bn redevelopment of its London Gateway project. Supporting the project’s large-scale remediation and ecology programme, May assisted on permitting, consenting, environmental liability, and remediation matters.

Helping inspire green best practice and awareness within the legal sector, May chairs the Law Society working group on climate change and is co-chair of the Legal Sustainability Alliance. Equally a key voice on ESG matters within the business community, May serves as a non-executive director of NGO the Aldersgate Group, which unites business, political, and civil society leaders to help champion an environmentally sustainable economy.
