ESG and sustainability
With the relationship between business, people and planet under the microscope, the global operating environment for organisations is more complex than ever.
The sustainability policy and regulatory landscape for business leaders continues to evolve, encouraging them to transform their companies into sustainable enterprises. The legal landscape is moving with it, placing companies at the sharp end of an increasingly complex operating environment.
By drawing on our experience across sectors, practices and jurisdictions, we provide strategic legal advice to support clients through their transitions towards a more sustainable, resilient future. We help them seize the opportunities and manage the risks, handling everything from advanced due diligence around corporate transactions, disclosures, compliance with laws and regulations, to representing them in some of the highest-profile ESG-linked lawsuits in the world.
