GRC – Governance, Risk & Compliance

We help you identify risks and opportunities arising from the increasing focus on GRC

ESG changed during the recent years and transformed into a very important tool for risk management and building resilience of companies. In the world of climate change, natural catastrophes and geopolitical volatility, sustainable organisations are also likely to be more resilient to future disruption - compliance with environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria can strengthen teams, firms and their operations. Failure to comply, can have significant legal, reputational and financial consequences.  

Our global team has extensive knowledge and experience of the real-world implications of ESG. We work alongside clients to offer practical advice on sustainability strategy, supply chainbusiness ethics, social justice concerns, employment practices and board diversity and accountability. We help build communications strategies to avoid greenwashing and misleading claims

As a governance, risk and compliance law firm, our expertise spans financial crime, employment, financial services enforcement, competition, data protection, health and safety, environment, sanctions and professional and clinical risks.
