A new era in chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) defence and deterrence is emerging with the threat landscape in Europe. Nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation treaties promised peace to the citizen across the world.

Just over a year ago, Synergy Law was founded to practice law with the freedom and flexibility to challenge the norm. Today, the Synergy Law team has grown to include twenty curious, iterative, and bold people who have used their knowledge and skills to uplift the capability and capacity of the clients they have worked with.

Corporate interest in the environmental, social and governance (ESG) space is nothing new – it’s been well documented for over a decade now.
