PRACTICE

Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG)

Overview

PierFerd’s Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) practice group is committed to helping clients build, manage and scale their sustainability and corporate responsibility needs. We provide comprehensive legal and strategic advice to businesses seeking to integrate ESG principles into their operations, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and alignment with best practices. Our ESG Team works closely with clients across all industries to develop and implement ESG strategies that enhance long-term value, mitigate risks, and foster positive environmental and social impacts. From conducting ESG due diligence and reporting to advising on sustainable finance and corporate governance, we offer tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of each client.

  • Full Spectrum of Business Transactions

    Like traditional large law firms, we regularly assist clients in the full spectrum of business transactions and related company matters, a large portion of which involves mergers and acquisitions, capital markets, banking and credit, employment, regulatory, corporate governance and board advisory, intellectual property, and financial restructuring and reorganization, among others.  

  • Leveraging Technology

    Our Corporate team leverages cutting edge technology in all aspects of practice and our diverse all-partner teams focus on what matters most to our clients and stakeholders, delivering outcomes through shared values of strength, diversity, and collaboration.  

  • Forging Close Partnerships

    We believe in forging close partnerships with our clients to better understand their business operations, enabling us to provide more effective counsel and to deliver exceptional value during pivotal moments that often shape profoundly the trajectory and success of our clients’ businesses.

  • Effective Low-Leverage Platform

    Our unique low-leverage platform is not only more cost-effective, it allows us to focus on fewer, targeted engagements than our peers at traditional, elite law firms. This model allows us to get closer to our clients and to know their  businesses, preferences, and cadence, and to ultimately meet our clients where they are.
