More and more law firms are looking for tangible impact from embedding ESG into their company strategy. Navigating both the internal opportunities and challenges, as well as knowing how best to assist clients with their own ESG programmes, is a growing need throughout law practice.

This 1-day course will cover:

  • The imperatives of ESG management in the business of law
  • Import of diversity and inclusion in the ESG mandate
  • ESG challenges and opportunities
  • Transforming to an ESG culture
  • ESG transformation in the practice of law and its clients
