Overview:

Is your law firm ready? Do you understand the coming societal and client expectations around Environmental, Social and Governance practices? Yes – this includes clients assessing their outside service providers – law firms, accounting firms, management consultants, etc. After all, we are part of our clients’ supply chains. And these ESG audits/assessments from clients include so much more than just donations, volunteering and recycling.

This webinar will provide a 30-minute overview of the various components of these growing client (and societal) expectations, what is driving this movement, and what it means for your firm. 

At a minimum, understanding this tidal wave is a defensive measure - the first step toward mitigating the financial risk of being unprepared when those first client audits / assessments come your way.

But it is also an opportunity. Understanding and becoming a proactive leader in this space could be a differentiator for your firm right now. In the very near future, it will simply be table stakes.

Attendees will benefit from a “Next Steps” checklist to begin the necessary work to act now.
