In this episode, Amanda Hsieh talks with Ben Metz, Executive Director of The Chancery Lane Project (TCLP) which is working to rewire contractual law to fight climate change. Prior to TCLP, Ben was a founding member of Big Lottery Funds Community Recycling and Economic Development, Director for Ashoka in the UK, and a multi-faceted consultant in the ESG space.  Ben is energized by assisting people to create systems and networks that enable them to shape the world around them for the better.

Listen as Amanda and Ben discuss the origins of TCLP, its mission and its work. TCLP is a collaborative effort of legal professionals from across the globe whose vision is a world where every contract enables solutions to climate change. They create new, practical contractual clauses ready to incorporate into law firm precedents and commercial agreements to deliver climate solutions. TCLP then works with lawyers to ensure effective and impactful implementation of the clauses, across industries, practice areas and jurisdictions.  Once you hear more about the work, you will want to get involved!
