As ESG Litigation becomes increasingly global year-on-year, the benefits of staying connected with key jurisdictions and informed on key developments is becoming ever more vital. So, take this opportunity join peers from across the UK and EU to address and share perspectives on today’s most pressing issues following major new ESG regulation and litigation developments across numerous countries. Gain practical insights into how ESG liability has changed and an accurate picture on new opportunities for litigation, and how best to defend against them!

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 key EU member states. Whilst 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. Attend to further develop your international network whilst enhancing your knowledge of where precedent being set abroad might inform future direction at home!
