Baker Botts’ multi-disciplinary Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) lawyers advise clients across a number of industries and technologies to help them capitalize on the opportunities and mitigate the risks presented by ESG issues, including in the critical areas of corporate citizenship, social responsibility, sustainability and climate change.
Who We Are
Drawing upon our more than 175 years of experience in the Energy and Technology Sectors, our practitioners are particularly suited to address the intersection of Energy, Technology and Environmental, Social and Governance. For two decades, our Teams have provided actionable advice for clients to align their business strategies with the ESG demands of the market, and the ESG goals that directors, shareholders, financers, investors, regulators, employees and other stakeholders prioritize.
We have the right resources for the job. Our multi-faceted approach to our Environmental, Social and Governance Practice deploys lawyers – across our global footprint – with the relevant subject matter and industry experience to efficiently and effectively promote client goals. We understand that ESG matters require interdisciplinary understanding. Our dedicated Team built on our renowned Environmental, Corporate, Projects and Securities Litigation Practices, handles ESG and CSR related issues for clients across industry verticals, having particular experience with the challenges facing the Energy, Manufacturing, and Chemicals Sectors. Our Teams are forward-looking in approach, assisting our clients to adapt to the changing ESG environment and to find new opportunities within it, while managing the risks and compliance requirements that arise from it.
We understand sustainability. Lawyers from our Environmental, Energy Regulatory, Corporate, Tax, Projects, Intellectual Property and Litigation Teams work collaboratively to advance our clients’ sustainability initiatives and objectives. We have helped clients address the myriad of legal challenges associated with environmental issues such as Emissions, Climate Change, Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS), Waste, and Water, including regulatory and permitting requirements, allocation of liability, and property rights. We are also helping clients make new investments into technology, assets and projects that are a core part of our clients’ sustainability strategies.
We know these matters are personal. The best Environmental, Social and Governance solutions are not one-size-fits-all. Our deep industry experience and market intelligence position us to advise our clients and communicate with stakeholders on purpose-built ESG solutions. They’re personal to us, too, as we are committed to Pro Bono, Diversity, and Corporate Social Responsibility.
