We Put These ESG lawyers to the Test
Authored By:
How are top law firms advising clients in the hot ESG practice area?
Reuters Legal wanted to find out, so we put together a panel of sustainability experts who created a fictitious tractor company facing environmental, social and governance issues.
We asked law firms to give fictitious Brighton Tractor Supply Co advice that takes advantage of ESG lawyers’ creativity and ingenuity in this growing legal field.
Here are the 18 law firms that responded: Baker Botts; Ballard Spahr; Crowell & Moring; Fox Rothschild; Hogan Lovells; K&L Gates; King & Spalding; Kirkland & Ellis; Mayer Brown; McDermott Will & Emery; Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo; Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe; Paul Hastings; Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman; Ropes & Gray; Schiff Hardin; Stroock & Stroock & Lavan; and Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders. Their complete submissions are linked throughout this document.
The video above has more details on the project and noteworthy responses from some of the firms. We recommend you begin there. You can read the entire submissions here from the law firms specifically mentioned in the video. They are Orrick, Pillsbury, Troutman Pepper, and Kirkland & Ellis.
