Michael Lawson

King & Wood Mallesons’ Singapore founding partner Michael Lawson brings a wealth of experience in the green transition, with a long track-record advising clients on their landmark wind, solar, battery, waste-to-energy, and carbon project developments. He leads the office’s regional engagements with major clients including offshore energy group BW, renewables investment manager SUSI Partners, and carbon marketplace Climate Impact X.

Lawson is a true thought leader across a diversity of green transition trends, offering insights into topics including EV battery supply chains, carbon market regulation, and the key regional political and economic commitments which are driving the decarbonisation of energy systems, transport, land use, and the built environment.

Demonstrating his leading reputation among major industry bodies on climate action, Lawson hosted the firm’s workshop alongside the Carbon Market Institute which explored how market participants can mobilise investor appetite and existing finance to build confidence in the carbon markets.
