As sustainability, corporate responsibility, and governance standards continue to reshape the global business environment, lawyers are increasingly required to understand and advise on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) issues. ESG has evolved from a corporate trend to a critical business and regulatory consideration, influencing investment decisions, risk management, compliance obligations, and corporate strategy across industries.
To equip legal professionals with the knowledge and practical insights needed to thrive in this emerging area, the Legal Business Network is pleased to launch ESG Insights: Shaping Legal Practice for a Sustainable Future, a free four-part training series designed specifically for lawyers.
Facilitated by Chioma Joanne Eboh, ESG Advisory Specialist, SHARE, Canada, this training will provide participants with a practical understanding of ESG principles, global developments, regulatory frameworks, and emerging opportunities for legal practitioners in Nigeria and beyond.
The training series will cover the following topics:
