ESG

At Morais Leitão, we have a multidisciplinary team specialised in ESG and human rights which, in permanent contact with the business, the academic and scientific community, responds to the diversity of ESG and human rights challenges and favours an approach based on the following principles:

• Legal certainty, provided by a senior and experienced team, whose know-how in the various areas and sectors in which we operate, allows us to anticipate the desired results and the obstacles to be overcome, with gains of efficiency in the work developed, always in alignment with the business strategy and objectives of our clients.
• Specialisation and multidisciplinarity, due to the fact that it concerns a multidisciplinary team with expertise in public law, corporate, banking and finance, corporate governance, real estate, compliance, European law and competition, tax, labour law and ESG and human rights, whose understanding of the sectors and experience allows for a holistic approach in legal advice, which incorporates strategic analysis of sustainability and ESG and human rights risk management and enables us to anticipate, manage and prevent risks, thus creating value and security for the clients.
• Use of innovation and technology, by taking advantage of the efficiency gains that new technologies can offer within the scope of sustainability issues, such as risk analysis in the value chain and legal analysis of identified potential and current impacts, allowing clients to monitor, minimise and manage risks, and thus making the provision of services and interaction with the clients as efficient as possible.
• Recognition of Morais Leitão and its lawyers, in various practice areas, for their professional rigour and competence and for providing a high-quality legal service that contributes to the sustainability and growth of their clients’ businesses.
