Our service offering is Legal Solutions +

We can deliver holistic legal + ESG support to our clients jointly with Venturis that encompasses strategy design and execution and capacity building. We can help our clients capture the business opportunities of the sustainability transition through designing and building a corporate strategy that combines sustainability and innovation, regulatory compliance and international best practices.

We try to create impact through our work

We look to support clients and projects that advance the SDGs. We also strive to add value by informing clients where they can integrate sustainability considerations into projects that do not show positive alignment with the SDGs.

Central to our impact governance is our SDG Tracker, which is a tool we developed to help us assess the net impact of potential mandates, taking into account the client or project’s alignment with the SDGs.

We strive to operate our own business sustainably

Our ambition is to become a carbon neutral law firm.

We have chosen to become net zero carbon in support of those market leaders who have made net zero commitments, and to support the universe of businesses and industries that will be required to rethink their business plans and objectives as national net zero carbon commitments take effect.

As we develop our decarbonisation strategy, we will document each step of our journey in the hopes of inspiring other professional services providers to do the same.
