Overview (Program Summary)
This program explores the emerging landscape of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) litigation. Speakers Amina Majeed and Giovanna (Gina) Ferrari discuss the rise of ESG-focused lawsuits, which often blend traditional legal claims around securities, environmental, and consumer protection issues. They discuss the growing trend of "greenwashing" claims, where companies face scrutiny over misleading environmental statements and initiatives. The speakers also analyze the potential impact of regulatory changes and enforcement actions, noting that while some rules may be revised, the underlying legal frameworks will likely remain. The program provides insights for companies to proactively review their ESG-related communications and governance practices to mitigate litigation risks.
