- lawyers with climate change experience
Climate change law has moved from a peripheral environmental concern to a core strategic discipline. Regulatory disclosure obligations, transition-risk litigation, carbon market structuring, and cross-border climate treaty compliance now demand lawyers with a distinct and specialist skill set — one that sits inside but reaches well beyond conventional environmental practice.
We map 500+ lawyers whose work centres on this specialism: counsel who advise on climate-related financial regulation, ESG enforcement, emissions-trading schemes, renewable energy permitting, and the emerging wave of climate liability claims. That breadth of intelligence lets us move precisely — matching mandate to market without noise.
Because climate change cuts across transactional, regulatory and contentious work, the talent pool is both deep and dispersed. Our role is to make it legible — identifying who is genuinely building expertise here versus who holds it as a secondary label — and to recruit across that market with the discretion the sector expects.

What makes climate change recruitment different from general environmental search?
Climate change law draws on regulatory, finance, litigation and policy expertise in ways that general environmental practice does not. A lawyer advising on voluntary carbon markets requires a different profile from one handling climate disclosure enforcement or physical-risk litigation. We map these sub-specialisms individually, so a search targets the precise skill set rather than a broad practice label.
How many live climate change roles does Sartori & Partners have?

What compensation do climate change roles typically offer?
Based on current live mandates, climate change role compensation in the US runs $100k–$435k. This reflects only the roles where the hiring organisation has authorised us to share a range publicly — many mandates are structured around the right candidate rather than a fixed band.
