Guiding clients through legislative obligations is incredibly rewarding, particularly when it offers the chance to preserve the environment and safeguard our heritage. This not only strengthens communities but also fosters enduring legacies for future generations.

Robert Turk
Climate and Sustainability Advisory
Growing up in bushland and by the sea, I developed a deep appreciation for nature. As I learned about the challenges facing these assets, I quickly realised the best way to help is by influencing the strategic direction of government and organisations. This insight shaped my career and led me to advise globally on sustainability and climate change.
