Main Content Main Menu ESG and Sustainability Print PDF Overview Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) considerations are critical elements of sustainable capitalism. We believe that ESG imperatives, when supported by a deep and nuanced understanding of the legal, regulatory and policy landscape, will drive opportunities for continued commercial success. As trusted problem solvers, we help our clients succeed using this new set of standards guiding them on how to best meet and exceed their business objectives while simultaneously advancing environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and rigorous corporate governance. Sheppard Mullin’s ESG and Sustainability Team takes a holistic approach, bringing together expertise spanning a range of legal disciplines and providing comprehensive advice and representation from across our almost 1000 lawyers. We work across practice groups, geographies, industry teams and client teams. We make sure our clients get the benefit of our market-leading experience and expertise by assembling teams that approach client issues from a broad spectrum of perspectives as one firm. Our Team recognizes that ESG standards and principles continue to evolve, sometimes quite rapidly, and that businesses must address a complex matrix of potentially applicable standards, and think ahead to prepare for what’s coming in the evolving ESG environment. We monitor trends and developments in government, industry and civil society to lead with a combination of high-level thinking and practical application in the real world. We are active with many leading sustainability organizations and initiatives, which gives us knowledge of and access to best practices and trends involving ESG and Sustainability. We help clients take stock of their ESG performance and provide strategic guidance enabling companies to affirmatively enhance economic performance, and to avoid or manage regulatory scrutiny, potentially expensive and disruptive litigation, and activist shareholder initiatives. Our ESG and Sustainability-related services cut across substantive legal topics and span the range of our traditional practice groups.
