New Horizons Around the World
Beyond the current dynamics in ESG litigation your expert speakers will provide detailed impressions of upcoming trends as ongoing cases continue to shape the precedent being established in the UK and key European jurisdictions
Many ESG litigation forums have historically focused on just one region and its attributes. In contrast, delegates seeking to connect and learn from colleagues with unique experiences will benefit from the cross-border focus of this event.
