Sustainability and environment
As sustainability issues are increasingly central to business, you need strategies and governance arrangements with solid legal foundations. As legal risks and regulatory demands grow, so do opportunities to lever solutions toward sustainability-driven transformation, through innovative deals and projects.

Chambers & Partners
"The firm has good global reach and a big team that knows its stuff.""Sustainable finance/investing is a niche topic that needs more support from law firms. Freshfields is a leader in this effort. They help many actors in this space and it is very important work.""The team delivers consistently very high-quality work dealing with some very sensitive, complex and nuanced matters.""The team is very experienced, provides consistently strong advice, understands commercial drivers well and is excellent at managing senior stakeholders."
ESG Risk, Global
"This is a developing field, and, given who they are their responsiveness to the issues, I don't think there is another firm as well placed as Freshfields to understand the issues and our work.""What is great about Freshfields is their awareness of the bigger picture and the wide variety of risks to our business: they are pragmatic in their advice."
