Legal Cheek Event

ESG Panel Event

We partnered with Legal Cheek for a virtual student event on environmental, social and governance issues (ESG).

During this session our panel, which included lawyers from our internal ESG board as well our Global Head of Inclusion, discussed the reasons why ESG has risen to the top of the agenda and the various ways in which the Firm are responding to the resulting challenges and issues.

This interactive, engaging event is a must-see for anyone looking to expand their knowledge on one of hottest topics affecting the commercial landscape.
