Description

As ESG committments have proliferated, so have related litigation and enforcement.  Overpromising and underdelivering has proven costly in a range of litigation, such as shareholder and citizen suits, as well as government investigations and enforcement.  ESG-related disputes transcend greenwashing claims and also involve challenges to various relevant standards and practices.  This panel will offer global perspectives on recent disputes- related developments and address strategies for mitigating ESG risks, including essential roles for legal, compliance, and other professionals.
