Greenwashing: What Every Lawyer Needs to Know about Environmental Claims, 9 March 2023
The demand for “green” products and services is steadily increasing. This market shift presents both risks and opportunities as companies look to “green-up” their business practices. However, unsubstantiated or misleading environmental claims can expose your clients to a variety of evolving risks as consumers demand more information and regulatory bodies require it. Smart lawyers will want to know the landscape so they can better serve their clients and take a leadership role with respect to “greener” practices.

Career transition: pivoting to ESG, 9 - 10 March 2023 (In-person) or March 14/15/16 & 21/22/23 (Onli
Most firms engage organically in a variety of ESG-related programs, practices and policies, but there is no one leading, managing or measuring these initiatives, resulting in the impression of “randomness” at best. Given the increasing ESG expectations coming from all stakeholders – clients, prospects, recruits, employees, vendors, and communities, it is no longer sufficient to “hope” that your firm can somehow be comprehensive, consistent, and coherent when addressing these expectations and when responding to inquiries.
Hope is not a successful strategy. ESG must be led and managed by design, not by default.
Firms that take deliberate and decisive measures to make sure ESG is embedded and is properly led, coordinated, and communicated – internally and externally – will emerge as leaders.
This hands-on, educational workshop is offered in two formats:
- Two-Day, In-Person Workshop, March 9 & 10 in downtown Chicago.
- Virtual, 2-hour Segments over 6 days: March 14,15,16, and 21,22,23.
