Jillian Button’s Expertise I am a climate change, ESG and environmental law specialist. I lead Allens' climate change practice, and co-lead the firm's ESG Hub. A significant part of my practice involves assisting clients to navigate the net zero transition. Recently, I have helped clients to comply with emissions reporting legislation and the reformed Safeguard Mechanism, negotiate carbon aspects of complex corporate transactions, establish large scale carbon farming arrangements, and carry out ACCU acquisition transactions. I also provide ESG head office support, including reviewing climate change and sustainability strategies, policies and disclosures (including annual reports and standalone sustainability reports), assisting with AGM preparation in relation to sustainability and climate matters, and providing advice on the implementation of sustainability commitments. I also advise clients on preparations for Australia's mandatory climate related financial disclosure regime. I have a focus on circular economy issues, having advised industry on a range of product stewardship arrangements for end-of-life products. I have assisted clients to develop strategies to contribute to the goal of halting and reversing biodiversity loss, including selecting and articulating nature positive corporate commitments, making disclosures with respect to nature-related risks, and establishing planting projects for biodiversity projects. Beyond ESG, I advise on a range of environmental law matters, including renewable energy and energy storage (BESS) projects, electricity transmission projects, nuisance, compulsory acquisition, native title, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal heritage, native vegetation, EPBC and land contamination remediation matters. Recently my practice has expanded into the offshore wind sector.
