We are facing unprecedented and existential challenges, such as climate change, pollution and declining biodiversity. Investors and many other stakeholders require immediate action from governments, corporates and increasingly also professional services firms, including law firms.

ESG has a major impact across the board on the organisation and legal practice, offering unprecedented business opportunities, from new type of ESG-related work for existing clients to “traditional” legal work for new type of clients and new (sustainable) sectors. But ESG – driven by both clients and talent - also requires that law firm start developing their own genuine ESG strategies and policies.
In this interactive session:
•    ESG experts will present briefly both the fundamentals and latest developments on ESG.
•    In breakout groups the participants are invited to discuss the impact of ESG on the strategy and organisation of law firms and present their findings.
