Conference programme

Only a few years ago, complying with environmental standards was mostly voluntary and companies used such compliance either for ideological reasons, as a marketing tool or for both. Now, on the one hand, several countries, especially in Europe, implement the goals of the Paris climate agreement creating new laws, and on the other hand, public pressure increases to conduct business in a sustainable way. The panel explores examples and aspects of mandatory and voluntary ESG compliance in the respective jurisdictions. And it will answer the question whether ESG has become an imperative or not.

This panel will explore how artificial intelligence and emerging technologies are revolutionising the legal profession. From contract automation to predictive analytics, the discussion will delve into the opportunities and challenges of integrating AI into legal workflows. Gain valuable insights into how general counsels are leveraging technology to enhance decision-making, mitigate risks, and drive efficiency in an increasingly complex legal landscape.
