Waves of new and rapidly changing ESG (environmental, social and governance) requirements and standards have forced companies to reevaluate the role of ESG and its impact on how companies organize, manage and report on their operations. With this space buffeted by changing state, national, and international priorities, the question remains: what is ESG and why should my business care?  

This webinar will provide an overview of key ESG, sustainability, and social responsibility issues and explain their relevance to your legal practice. Join us for a session that will give you an overview of key regulatory and litigation trends, and explain how they relate to the work that you do to support your business partners. Topics include: 

  • Overview of and trends in the ESG space
  • Changing state, federal, and European requirements
  • Sustainability and climate reporting
  • Green claims
  • Supply chain/forced labor due diligence
  • What’s next?  


Led by an international team of lawyers who have years of experience with ESG compliance and reporting, this program is designed for those organizations or companies that are—or will be—impacted by the latest ESG reporting requirements and recent developments in the ESG space.

Terminations, Stop Work Orders, and De-Scopes – The Latest Updates and Recovery Opportunities for USAID Contractors and Grant Recipients

In 2025, the U.S. Government’s policy statements and Executive Orders have had far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Although terminations, stop work orders, and de-scopes have affected private companies, non-profits, and universities doing business across multiple agencies, the U.S. Government’s policies relating to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has caused particular confusion and uncertainty relating to performance, compliance, and contractual procedure. Key questions have included the potential impacts of official and less formal communications from the U.S. Government, procedural issues arising from the move of certain functions to the U.S. Department of State, and the effect of various pending litigations. As businesses and organizations plan for 2026, the importance of preserving their rights and maximizing potential recovery opportunities remains paramount.
