Practice areas

ESG

Environmental, social and corporate governance (“ESG”) criteria seek to establish high standards of performance and good practices in companies. Although these standards are “non-binding” from a strictly legal point of view, they have become a differentiating factor, both for companies and investors, as well as for an important part of society. Today, more than ever, companies must act responsibly, in order to allow and promote sustainable development in harmony with nature and the environment.

We understand that, in today’s world, it is not enough to simply provide legal advice, but also requires an understanding of other factors that come together so that companies can meet their strategic objectives.

We are aware of the opportunities and challenges posed by the growing attention to sustainability and are therefore perfectly positioned to help companies meet their sustainability objectives. We have a multidisciplinary and diverse team, market leaders with in-house practical experience in risk management and ESG standards implementation.

We design innovative and practical applicable solutions that fit the different needs of our clients, and we have the flexibility to provide them with specialized advice depending on the stage they are in. We advise and accompany our clients in all those areas related to corporate sustainability to help them prevent and mitigate risks and, on the other hand, generate value for the company over time through the adoption of new criteria for community relations.
