ESG Advisory
ESG counsel that survives contact with the boardroom — practical, defensible, and audit-ready.
ESG that is more than a report.
ESG has moved from disclosure to duty — with real regulatory, litigation, and financing consequences. We advise boards, issuers, and sponsors on ESG strategy, disclosures, and controls.
Our team combines regulatory depth with capital markets, disputes, and governance capability — ESG advice that is workable, defensible, and audit-ready.
- ESG strategy & governance
- Sustainability disclosures
- Green & sustainability finance
- Human rights & supply chain
How we approach this practice.

We advise on the issuance of green bonds and the structuring of impact investment funds, unlocking access to the growing pool of sustainable capital.
ESG across strategy, disclosure, and execution.
Board-level ESG strategy, committee design, and integration into decision-making.
TCFD, ISSB-aligned, and CMA sustainability disclosure preparation and defence.
Green bonds, sustainability-linked loans, and use-of-proceeds frameworks.
Human rights due diligence and supply chain compliance frameworks.
Managing greenwashing risk, activist engagement, and ESG-linked litigation risk.
ESG data assurance, controls design, and audit-ready reporting frameworks.

A disciplined path from concept to close.
- 01Commercial Alignment
We start with the commercial map — economics, control, contributions, and outcome — before drafting a single clause.
- 02Structural Blueprint
A structuring memo sets out the vehicle, jurisdiction, tax treatment, and regulatory path, benchmarked against comparable matters.
- 03Documentation
Bespoke documentation drafted as an integrated instrument set — designed to survive later scrutiny.
- 04Approvals & Closing
Regulator engagement, condition-precedent management, and a disciplined closing choreography.
- 05Stewardship
Ongoing counsel through the life of the matter — governance, calendaring, and dispute-prevention.
