Sustainability and ESG have moved from the margins to the mainstream for law firms, yet many are still unsure where to start or what “good” looks like in practice.

Join us for an informal lunch discussion that cuts through the theory and focuses on real-world experience. Drawing on first-hand work supporting a law firm’s sustainability strategy and carbon baseline, alongside our own ESG journey, we’ll explore what’s actually working and what isn’t.

This interactive session will offer practical insight into evolving client expectations, reporting challenges, securing internal buy-in, and what lies ahead. There will also be plenty of space for open discussion, shared experiences, and peer learning. Lunch will be provided.
