ESG & Law 101

Thursday, May 5, 2022 | 10-11 a.m. ET

Join the Fiscalnote Executive Institute for a new series of continuing legal education courses to help your organization stay ahead on top issues in digital transformation and environmental, social, and governance (ESG). Offered in partnership with Paul Weiss' ESG & Law Institute, these courses allow you to add up to 3 CLE credits.

How does ESG intersect with law, business, and government/external affairs? What do senior executives and in-house counsel need to consider in regards to ESG, especially in light of recent regulatory developments in the US and abroad including the SEC's proposed climate regulation? What are the ethical and legal considerations for companies that embrace or do not embrace ESG?
