Laura Long Speaking at 23rd Annual Law Firm COO & CFO Forum

A strong ESG commitment has become an integral part of running a successful law firm; but, given the myriad of shifting challenges that firm leaders face, revisiting and refining firm ESG policies may not be a critical priority. Shifting to more sustainable operations may reap a bounty of rewards such as increased reputation, client favorability, and decreased long-term costs. At this point, clients expect firms to have a strong ESG practice in place; so much so, that many clients may neglect to take a closer look and verify ESG standards. In an age where ESG is an expectation, how has it fallen short because of a perceived lack of driven passion? Without wider adoption of proper checks and balances, how can firms hold themselves accountable? Has the performative nature of ESG overshadowed the intended altruism at its core? Join us as we discuss client ESG expectations and the continued expansion of law firm ESG goals.
