Introduction

Perhaps this paper introduces you to an issue you have not previously considered would impact on your advice as a property lawyer. Perhaps it addresses something that in your personal life you are already aware of – but how it impacts on the advice you give is not clear. Perhaps you already feel a nagging need to include sustainability thinking in your advice, but you have no idea how to start. And perhaps you have already begun to change your thinking. Wherever you are on the trajectory, hopefully there is something here to help you progress, to challenge your thinking.
