Having attained her LLB (Law) from St Hilda’s College, University of Oxford, Laetitia completed the Bar Vocational Course (BVC) at Inns of Court School of Law and was called to the Bar at Inner Temple in October 2009. As a non-practicing barrister, she holds an LLM in International Commercial Law with specialization in International Energy Litigation (Commendation) from City Law School. While obtaining credits from UWLA Law School for the California Bar Exam in Los Angeles, in 2015 she was awarded The Witkin Award in Constitutional Law.

Having worked at The Council on Foreign Relations in New York in the 1990’s under David Rockefeller and Peter G. Peterson, Laetitia also worked for the M&A Corporate Practice of Wilmerhale LLP (London), the Air Quality and Climate Change Practice at Katten, Muchin and Rosenman LLP (San Francisco) and in recent years assisted Partners of Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP with business development in their international energy and infrastructure practice group. In 2020 Laetitia’s interest in new nuclear/SMR’s began when she represented a US based nuclear company client.

Laetitia is an Advisory Board Member of leading European environmental litigation charity ClientEarth and a “Climate Leader” with Al Gore’ Climate Reality Project, she is also an advocate for keeping hydrocarbons in the mix using Gas-to-Nuclear and Coal-To-Nuclear/CCUS and is pro-energy-choice for a just energy transition that is pro clean industrialization and growth according to the Sustainable Energy For All (SEFA UNFCC).

Aside from her energy, climate mitigation and environmental protection work, Laetitia has been a freelance writer for 30 years for a range of publications including Harpers Bazaar, Frank, W, The Sunday Times, Above Magazine (Editor-At-Large) and Spear’s Wealth Management Magazine. Today she writes for Nuclear Future Magazine.

In the context of the urgent need for energy security, the UNFCC’s carbon emissions reduction targets and guarding against fuel poverty and pursuing transitional energy strategies, Laetitia’s consultancy firm, Transition2Zero and videocast, The Safer Cleaner Planet Series (on LinkedIn, YouTube, Spotify and X) is dedicated to educating investors, and policy-makers through depth interviews with regulatory and technology experts in the New Nuclear and Sustainability sector, including conventional renewables, microgrids and innovative integrated systems (coined by Professor Joshua Goldstein as “nuables”), as “probably the best answer to solve climate change in line with the Agenda 2030 and 2050 timelines.”

Laetitia regularly co-hosts climate & energy, ESG impact focused events in London (see Upcoming International Events Page) and internationally. In 2025 she is working with an established US documentary producer on a new video campaign ‘Make Nuclear Cool Again’, while also hosting an Energy Transition Roundtable Series and Gala dinner in Belem, Brazil for COP30.

In October 2022, Laetitia founded Transition2Zero Limited (UK), an energy transition, infrastructure and project development consultancy firm https://www.transition2zero.net/

Laetitia’s current academic focus to accelerate New Nuclear adoption is threefold;  
i) a T20 Recommendation Report on how best performing countries are adapting, streamlining, harmonizing their regulatory regimes to accelerate FOAK new nuclear projects along with their significant safety advances and integrated systems (islanded and on-grid), especially for data centers, hydrogen production, EV Charging infrastructure and other clean transport systems, district heating and sustainable industrial manufacturing e.g. steel production. 
ii) a T20 Recommendation Report on unlocking the financing challenges of developing SMR and AMR’s, including an analysis of the financial models, institutional and sustainable/climate finance capabilities and need for substantial FOAK subsidy reform. 
iii) in depth review of the latest integrated systems technological and business model innovations that will shorten connectivity using new nuclear/SMR’s/AMR’s/MMR’s [including Gas-to-Nuclear and Coal-To-Nuclear] from industrial clusters/applications (islanded and on-grid) to supply “5 nines uptime” electricity supply for residential, commercial and public sector customers.
