The three cornerstones environmental, social and (corporate) governance are having an increasing impact on key corporate and investment decisions and influencing access to capital. In recent years, there has been a considerable increase in the number and complexity of rules and regulations in this area both nationally and internationally.

For companies, financial institutions, investors and the public sector, this not only leads to challenges but also to many opportunities. New business models are constantly emerging as existing ones are adapting. As a leading full-service law firm we guide our clients through the transformation processes triggered and accelerated by ESG matters. We draw on the expertise and experience we have gained from many years of advising legislators and ministries on tackling fundamental changes in the German economy, such as the exit from nuclear and fossil-fuel energy. We are one of the few law firms in the market that provide advice in all ESG-relevant legal fields.

We advise our clients on taking advantage of the new opportunities while managing the risks. This applies to all areas of corporate, financial and commercial law. We pay particular attention to the connection with corporate transactions and corporate financing, project and product development, the design of individual governance and reporting structures, investor engagement, compensation and benefits matters, entrepreneurial decisions in accordance with the business judgement rule, diversity and inclusion, ESG compliance and environmental law.
