Polly was called to the UK Bar in 1998, where she practised for seven years.  Her primary area of expertise was company and employment law. She has represented numerous corporations, trade unions and public bodies as well as employees, ranging from Employment Tribunal to County Court to Court of Appeal. In 2006 she moved into advisory work for Trans-Mediterranean Renewable Energy Co-operation (TREC-UK), advising and lobbying on EU and international legislative frameworks for upcoming renewable energy policies.  Through her work with TREC, Polly began to recognise that the need for a Duty of Care was required for the planet.  To that end she has become a vociferous spokesperson of Earth Jurisprudential principles, working with EnAct International to promote wide-scale adoption and recognition.  A regular public speaker, she is now a sought after advocate and adviser of Wild Law.

Polly is spearheading a campaign to encourage the United Nations to implement a Universal Declaration of Planetary Rights. To read more about the campaign, visit treeshaverightstoo.com
