Today, sustainability is part of how we work and is increasingly critical to the future of digital printing.

In 2018, Leverets Advocacy’s two founding partners – barrister Rupert Butler and solicitor Stephanie Davies – set out to remove the restrictions on where and how lawyers can practice, and usher in a new era of legal service excellence.
Realising the traditional approach of the client instructing a solicitor, who in turn instructs a barrister and then both work separately, is expensive and inefficient, they set out to build a combined practice.
The goal was to deliver a streamlined, cost-effective and highly personal client experience, free from the disruptive fragmentation of the traditional model.
And that’s exactly what they have achieved.
Building on their experience in both litigation and transactional matters, as well as dispute resolution and mediation, commercial and company litigation, personal and corporate insolvency, civil fraud and public inquiries. This blended service of strategic and advocacy skills is a particularly powerful combination.
Leverets has carved a reputation for handling exceptional, high value legal cases on behalf of large international enterprises and corporate clients, as well as high profile individuals and dynamic SME business leaders.
Cases are handled by the same blended team throughout, at all levels of courts and tribunals, including advocacy and media relations, which creates a personal, streamlined, and cost-efficient service for you.

Energise is an award-winning Net Zero and Sustainability consultancy supporting customers being a force for good.
In 2008, husband and wife duo Simon and Tamsin Alsbury set off on a mission to “save the world” by educating organisations on the importance and practicalities of improving their energy efficiency. What they discovered along the way was that running a business “the right way,” where business is used as a vehicle for good both in the work it delivers and the way it relates to its stakeholders, is the key to real change. Because living more sustainably, being mindful of the environment we’re in and our relationship to this planet we call home, is less about climate change and more about culture change.
And while our understanding of what’s required to shift our economy towards Net Zero and a more sustainable future has changed over the past decade, our commitment and passion have not.
