Legal advise about ESG within Corporate & Commercial and M&A
Even the strongest are stronger together. This point of view has always existed at Lundgrens. Therefore, environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues naturally play a major role in our advisory services. In connection with the increased focus on and desire for sustainability from the world around us, legislation and companies, a strong focus on ESG is necessary and helps to create value for our clients.
