A legal lifeline for nature

Please join us for the Legal Sustainability Alliance Summer event which will include a panel discussion followed by drinks and canapés.

Nature related risks are increasing in political and commercial importance as science demonstrates the steep decline in wildlife populations – down 70% since 1970. Why does this matter to law firms and their clients?

The recent legal opinion commissioned by Pollination and the Commonwealth Climate and Law Initiative found that Board Directors could potentially breach their duties by failing to consider or act on relevant nature-related risks, which could lead to personal liability.

Join us and our invited guest speakers Sharif Shivji KC, who co-authored the opinion, and Clare Brook CEO Blue Marine to hear what law firms should be thinking and doing about biodiversity and how best they can advise their clients.
