ESG & Impact

Our ESG & Impact practice focuses on the main topics related to sustainability and the pursuit of positive impacts across five key areas: Sustainable Finance, Governance, Social & Human Rights, Energy Transition and Environment. We bring together a multidisciplinary team composed of professionals from the Environmental, Banking, Capital Markets, Corporate and Governance, Labor, Infrastructure, and Litigation areas, ensuring an engaged team that is up to date with the latest ESG practices, trends, and legislative and regulatory developments.

We address the broad and constantly evolving nature of ESG while maintaining service excellence, with robust practice capable of handling both day-to-day activities and our clients’ most innovative and complex projects.
