It testifies to our continued commitment to ESG matters. In this respect, law firms have a special role. Firstly, as legal advisors and, secondly, as firms in their own right. One goes hand in hand with the other.”      We want to thank all our clients and partners, such as our equally ESG-committed networks Multilaw and Bundesverband der Wirtschaftskanzleien in Deutschland (BWD) e.V., for their trust and support in achieving this success.      Find out more about our sustainable engagement on our website.    Prof. Dr. Andreas Walter Patrick-Lukas Mamok   #schalastlawtax #lawfirm #legal500 #sustainability

Law firm leaders - This graph certainly confirms what I am seeing in the legal market. Law firms are quick to form practice groups to serve clients on ESG (and rightly so) but are slow to take their own advice, walk the talk, set an example. In order to be authentic in their ESG advisory services, law firms MUST be on their own ESG journey as well. I am so excited to hear more from Lisa Hart Shepherd and Jo Summers of Lamp House Strategy during the Legal ESG New York event this week. Law firms must get started now. Clients want to know what your firm is doing! You can access the Lamp House Report here: https://lnkd.in/gxcVPgtP #esg #sustainability #lawfirms

🌳 Landmark legal opinion paves way for nature to enter the boardroom 👩💼 Do take a look at my colleague Thea Philip and James Cameron's piece released this week in Reuters’ discussing this new legal opinion. It concludes that nature-related risks are relevant considerations for directors when discharging their company law duties.   The piece concludes with three pertinent questions:   1. Does your Board include people who know about these issues? 2. Is your Board capable of seeking and taking on the advice required to respond? 3. Is your Board actively taking steps to understand and mitigate these risks, while also looking to seize upside opportunities? 💡 Is your Board prepared to address nature-related risks? 💡 #naturerelatedrisk #nature #boardengagement Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL) Business for Nature Capitals Coalition The Conduit Institute of Directors (IoD) https://lnkd.in/d-X5tBBU
