Working with SEPA has afforded Chala valuable insight into what is required and expected when dealing with matters of legal analysis, interpretation and ensuring compliance for commercial clients. As part of the environmental team at Davidson Chalmers Stewart she is now putting her technical and legal knowledge and experience to use in finding commercially viable solutions for private and public sector clients alike.
