Overview

As ESG expectations grow more complex, the Canadian legal profession faces a dual responsibility: navigating evolving regulatory landscapes and partnering with clients to drive sustainable, responsible business practices.

The intersection of law and ESG continues to evolve, presenting both challenges and opportunities for Canadian legal professionals. As domestic regulatory frameworks expand and international standards grow more influential, law firms must not only address local obligations but also guide clients in navigating the global ESG landscape.

Legal ESG Toronto, taking place on May 7, 2025, again hosted by Gowling WLG, offers a critical forum for exploring how Canadian law firms and their clients can work hand in hand to overcome the complexities of sustainable and responsible business practices. This full-day event brings together thought leaders, regulatory bodies, and legal innovators to examine the implications of global ESG and provide actionable strategies for collaboration and compliance.

Combining expert panels, interactive workshops, and keynote presentations, Legal ESG Toronto provides attendees with actionable insights and strategies to navigate ESG challenges in the Canadian legal profession.

Key Themes Include:

• Collaborative ESG Strategies: The role of law firms in helping clients achieve sustainable and responsible business practices
• Climate and Financial Disclosures: How evolving global standards, including ISSB guidelines, EU directives, and U.S. SEC climate rules, shape Canadian reporting obligations.
• Cross-Border ESG Impact: How global supply chains and international partnerships are influencing Canadian ESG compliance.
• Indigenous Rights and ESG: The importance of meaningful engagement with Indigenous communities to align ESG strategies with reconciliation commitments.
• Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Global expectations for social governance and their implications for Canadian firms and their clients.
• Risk Mitigation: Managing reputational and regulatory risks, including greenwashing and fostering transparent accountable practices.
• Future-Proofing Partnerships: Equipping your team and your clients with the skills and knowledge required to lead in ESG compliance and innovation.
