Matheson has become one of the first Irish law firms to set up a dedicated advisory group on environmental, social and governance (ESG).
Ireland's largest law firm says the cross-sectoral legal services group will help companies to navigate and respond to the rapidly evolving ESG landscape.
Led by 12 partners, the new group is chaired by Garret Farrelly, who also leads the firm’s energy, natural resources, utilities and infrastructure practices.
Matheson says its clients will also have access to a new online ESG resource hub with insights from the advisory group.
Mr Farrelly said the new group would provide legal expertise in areas such as climate action, energy, governance and employment practices.
