ESG is moving from voluntary ambition to mandated action.


As Europe rolls out sweeping new regulations – from the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) to the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CS3D) – businesses face unprecedented obligations to report on sustainability and police their supply chains. At the same time, regulators around the world are ramping up ESG enforcement, and courts are seeing a surge in climate and ESG-related lawsuits.


The question is no longer if companies and their legal advisors should prioritize ESG, but how to do so effectively, in full compliance, and in ways that stand up to scrutiny.


Legal ESG: Europe 2025, taking place on 20th November 2025 at Baker McKenzie’s Paris office, is an opportunity for law firm leaders, in-house counsel, compliance professionals, and ESG experts to come together, learn from each other, and drive the ESG agenda forward. It’s a chance to reflect on the progress made so far, confront the challenges on the horizon, and commit to a future where ESG is a fundamental element of corporate strategy and legal practice. Join us to exchange ideas, prepare for what’s next, and ensure that your organization is ready for this new chapter of ESG.

Discussions Will Include

  • How will new EU directives like CSRD and CS3D reshape corporate accountability and legal risk?
  • Are companies prepared to meet stringent ESG reporting requirements and conduct due diligence across global supply chains?
  • What do rising climate lawsuits and greenwashing crackdowns mean for businesses and their counsel?
  • How are regulators and investors globally enforcing ESG commitments and holding organizations accountable?
  • How is the era of ESG accountability impacting corporate governance and the responsibilities of boards and legal advisors?
  • How can legal and compliance teams proactively mitigate ESG risks while driving sustainable value for their organizations?
