Climate change, sustainability and social impact
The UN's Sustainable Development Goals are vital benchmarks of personal and corporate responsibility, profitability and sustainability. Environmental and social credentials are shifting investor and consumer demand, and new legislation in many countries seeks to address sustainability practices.
There are numerous stakeholders in this global context, including corporations, investors, founders and business owners, charities and non-profit organisations, environmental and social activists, and of course consumers.Our international team offers strategic legal advice to guide individuals and businesses through the evolving environmental and social landscape. Whether you're investing private capital in impact initiatives and innovation, advancing sustainable real estate, dealing with the complexities of waste in manufacturing, the impact of the climate and climate regulation, or navigating emerging industries such as renewable energy and hydrogen fuel, we can help you to protect your interests and thrive.
We also have extensive experience advising or litigating on behalf of clients, such as businesses, charities and individuals, who are involved in environmental or human rights claims.
