Ernst’s clients include governments across Africa and the Middle East, indigenous and local communities, non-government organisations and multinational enterprises.

Since qualifying in 2016, Ernst has established himself as a leading ESG lawyer on the continent. His commitment to ESG and success in this field is illustrated by the fact that Ernst currently represents Africa on the International Bar Association's (IBA) Sustainable Development Goals and ESG working group, the Net Zero Lawyers Alliance's steering committee, and the Green Hydrogen
Organisation's (GH2) standard committee. In addition, he is regularly invited to participate at conferences across Africa and the Middle East addressing senior stakeholders on ESG topics.
Ernst regularly addresses postgraduate students and academic departments at universities as a guest lecturer on matters related to ESG, green hydrogen, mining, and sustainable development. He is also an ambassador for Cambridge University's Democratising Education for Global Sustainability and Justice programme.
