Simon Lewis

Brabners

Simon Lewis is law’s answer to David Attenborough. As head of the firm’s sustainability, environmental and green group (SEGG), Lewis is the man behind Brabners’ Bog. The firm’s initial investment of £50,000 will contribute to restoration of a peatbog at Kingsdale Head Farm, which is expected to prevent the loss of at least 450 tonnes of carbon per year. Lewis also helped roll-out a Veganuary initiative to provide staff with slow cookers and vegan recipes, and he was instrumental in Brabners achieving B-Corp status in 2022 – experience and credibility that the firm hopes to leverage in 2023.

When he’s not saving the planet, Lewis is a corporate partner. In the last 12 months, he advised All About Children on its sale to childcare provider Partou, which was the largest deal in the nursery sector last year. This was a particularly gratifying job for Lewis as he has been advising the company for 12 years, the first time being on its inception in 2000.

Looking forward, Lewis is working on SEGG’s next big initiative, while polishing his Guinness World Record for contributing to the “largest disco dance” at Camp Bestival.
