Promoting sustainability through #arbitration? 🍀 Castrén & Snellman and Delos Dispute Resolution are hosting a joint breakfast seminar to discuss the ways in which arbitration can promote sustainability and tackle climate change. The risk of #ESG disputes is now a part of corporate reality, regardless of a company's line of business. Arbitration can play an important role in resolving such disputes internationally. The arbitration community is also becoming increasingly aware of the carbon footprint of arbitration proceedings, and several tools have been developed to make arbitration a greener practice. Contact events@castren.fi if you are a corporate legal counsel or otherwise involved in arbitration or ESG matters to discuss these topical issues with us in person or online! 👋

As consumers, regulators and investors seek to hold companies accountable for their environmental and social impact, will we see a surge in ESG-related disputes? What types of disputes will take center stage, and how should they be resolved? Is arbitration the answer, and are arbitrators and counsel prepared for the complexities of ESG cases? Join us on November 18 for a discussion with Matthew E. Draper, Brooke Skartvedt Guven, Daniel Greineder and José Antonio Vázquez Cobo as we explore these and other questions. The event will be hosted at New York City Bar Association as part of New York Arbitration Week.

This first roundtable will provide valuable insights into ESG considerations for risk management and innovative strategies for dispute resolution across Europe.   In the second panel Giacomo Rojas Elgueta, Of Counsel and Head of International Arbitration, will address the growing impact of climate change law on international arbitration, with a specific focus on phase-out disputes in investment arbitration and the role played by the new generation of Bilateral Investment Treaties.   #ESG #ESGdisputes #litigation #internationalarbitration

We are very much looking forward to giving a presentation on ESG and Compliance in a M&A context at the annual two-day conference, “Advokatenes fagdager”, organized by Advokatforeningen (the Norwegian Bar Association) and JUS - Juristenes Utdanningssenter (the Center for Continuing Legal Education). Addressing ESG in a transactional context involves a multi-faceted approach where lawyers can play a pivotal role. M&A is a central part of Schjødt's practice throughout our Scandinavian and UK platform, and ESG/Compliance is a high-priority legal practice area for our firm. We will share practical tips and methodologies on how to integrate ESG considerations and risk assessments into due diligence processes, as well as providing strategies to mitigate identified risks through structuring of the deal, negotiating the contractual framework and post-closing implementation.
