Kerry is a Counsel at Linklaters specialising in climate finance, and has practiced in the commodities and carbon markets for 2 decades. In 2005, Kerry joined the carbon finance group at Linklaters (London) having previously practiced as a Senior Associate at Bowman Gilfillan (Johannesburg). Kerry then spent 7 years as the line of business lawyer for the Environmental Markets desk of JPMorgan (London), during which time the bank established itself as a key market player in the early carbon markets. Kerry returned to private practice in 2016, rejoining Linklaters’ commodities and climate finance group. Kerry’s practice area is mainly transactional – her broad commodities experience provides a critical underpinning in the maturing carbon markets and Kerry has advised on many of the market’s pioneering and most challenging transactions. Kerry’s client base includes multilaterals,  global investment banks, market leading corporates, tech giants, commodities trading houses and carbon majors, and she advises on a full range of structured finance transactions across the spectrum of project based activities and technology types, together with secondary and compliance market trading, and on market infrastructure development. Outside of Linklaters, Kerry has been a Council member for IETA since 2022 and also serves as an independent expert on the Development Task Team for UNESCOs Vhembe Biosphere Reserve (VBR) in the Limpopo province, South Africa.
