Powering Sustainability Across the Legal Profession.

Over the past ten years, I have worked in partnership with Achill Legal to design, develop and support the digital platforms behind some of the UK legal profession’s most influential sustainability initiatives.

Together, these websites educate, connect and empower law firms, barristers, chambers and legal professionals as they respond to the climate and nature crisis.

1000+

Member Organisations
Law firms, chambers and legal professionals across the UK

Hundreds

of Resources
Guides, toolkits, reports, bulletins via Capsule / Transpond and content managed across sites

Ongoing events

Webinars, conferences, conferences, podcast and working with supported groups

One Mission

Driving meaningful change and accelerating climate action across the legal profession.

One Consultancy.
Four Networks.
One Shared Mission.

Achill Legal provides strategic leadership and secretariat support across many legal sustainability initiatives, helping organisations collaborate, share best practice and accelerate climate action across the profession.

Through events, working groups, publications, communications, and industry leadership, Achill Legal has become a central hub for sustainability within the legal sector, Amanda Carpenter is the founder and CEO of Achill Legal, as well as co-founder and director of Legal Charter 1.5. In 2026 Amanda won the Legal 500 ESG Award – Environmental/Sustainability: Champion of the year.

My Role

Rather than building isolated websites, this project required creating a connected family of platforms that could...

Maintain distinct identities

Support membership growth

Integrate with CRM and email marketing systems

Share a consistent strategic vision

Promote events and campaigns

Scale as the networks evolve

Extensive resource libraries

Legal Charter 1.5 is a high ambition initiative – that has been developed collaboratively – by a group of large commercial/corporate law firms, to shift thinking, and drive transformational change to mitigate the climate crisis.

This is phase one of our project with the full version of the site to go live in Autumn 2o23.

We were looking for a fresh look for the site & logo, with some nice bold colours to give the site some energy.

This site features:

  • Wow card carousel

"Working with Tess is a delight. She not only got our ideas and concept straight away, she was able to translate it into a beautiful, practical and totally user friendly website. She combines professionalism with good humour and patience and as such the whole process was easy, stress free and enjoyable."

Achill Management

Re-design and build

View Site

Achill Management is a London based environmental consultancy that helps organisations become more sustainable,  productive and profitable. I had previously worked with Amanda Carpenter CEO on another project and she was keen for me to do a redesign/rebuild of her existing site as the theme she had was too restrictive. 

We created a fresh, user-friendly website and whilst there is lots of information it is clearly laid out and easy to navigate. This is another excellent example of good quality images.

Features:

  • Timeline
  • Skills Bar
  • Circule Counters
  • Testimonial Carousel
  • Logo Grid
  • Dividers
  • Contact form

The Legal Sustainability Alliance

Design & build 

View Site

The LSA is open to all law firms, schools of law and in house counsel. It is a collaborative network in which members share best practice and work together to ensure law firms play a full part in tackling the climate crisis.

My brief was to create a site that's engaging and easy to navigate allowing members can access a range of tools, resources, advice and exclusive benefits to help them on their sustainability journey - The site also holds a Carbon Calculator App created by my husband.

New members are able to sign up for membership and/or newsletters via MailChimp. I'm really pleased with the way this site has come together, I especially like the additional buttons that appear on the main image, helping members to quickly access the info they need throughout the site.

"Tess did an amazing job in developing a new website for the Legal Sustainability Alliance (LSA). She advised on a design and layout which reflected the professional nature of LSA members yet had a fresh and interesting feel. Her approach has also enabled us to dramatically reduce the clutter of the old site whilst making it far easier to access information via the new one.

Tess is easy to work with, responsive, full of helpful ideas and suggestions and has been a valuable partner in ensuring the LSA has a strong web offering and profile."
