Rethinking ESG Across Today's Legal Profession
Now more than ever, society is grappling with increasingly urgent environmental, social, and governance issues. Yet, ESG has been politicized and polarized, making the work even more challenging.
Whether it is called ESG or some other phrase, understanding what it means to be a responsible business and collaborating to understand risks, reporting requirements, and regulations is required of all businesses.
Legal ESG: London, taking place on 18th & 19th June 2024, is an intimate gathering for law firm leaders, the clients they serve, and today’s leading ESG experts to learn from each other and propel the profession forward as leaders in transitioning our world to a more sustainable and just society.
It is clear that while much progress has been made, much remains to be done for the legal profession to lead in setting Ambitions, changing Attitudes, and exploring new Approaches!
Join us in contributing to the conversation amongst law firms, legal service providers, in-house counsel, legal operations, and today’s ESG thought leaders as they shape the future of our society.
Don't miss your chance to contribute to the conversation and to be part of this landmark event.
