ESG: Disputes and Investigations

Our ESG disputes and investigations team navigates the complex landscape of regulatory pressure, compliance issues, and stakeholder scrutiny, offering expert advice to mitigate risks and protect your business from financial and reputational damage.

Overview

Businesses are under increasing legal and regulatory pressure to demonstrate their ESG credentials and explain how they are mitigating the adverse impact caused by their activities and those operating in their supply chains. Increasing regulation, compulsory ESG disclosures, and ever greater scrutiny by various stakeholders comes with a heightened risk of disputes and regulatory investigations, and consequential financial and reputational damage.

Our dispute resolution team has a breadth of experience handling complex disputes and regulatory investigations and is well-placed to advise on these risks and potential liabilities. We advise on a broad spectrum of ESG-related disputes, investigations, and compliance issues including;
