Following high-profile dismissals of climate change actions in a number of jurisdictions, and with a global geopolitical trend towards deregulation, is ESG litigation risk for businesses waning?

This session will feature a lively opening debate between our expert speakers presenting competing viewpoints.

A panel will then invite audience insights, weigh the arguments and explore further what may be on the horizon - and what it means for those bringing and defending ESG claims.

Topics will include:

• Public, activist and funder appetite for litigation
• Trends in investor claims, including the impact of widening corporate sustainability reporting
• Developments on parent company liability for the activities of overseas subsidiaries and suppliers
• The impact of recent decisions regarding procedural mechanisms for mass claims
• New frontiers in ESG claims: biodiversity, plastics and more...
• ""Anti-ESG"" litigation: just a US issue?

Lunch will be provided from 13:00 to 14:00 prior to the start of the session.
