Europe Green Ambassadors:

Legal 500 published its inaugural Europe Green Ambassadors, available now through Legal Business. The guide marked the launch of our dedicated research into private practice lawyers of various specialisms who lead client work which supports decarbonisation and the green transition. We are delighted to share an insight into the activities of leading lawyers across Benelux, DACH, France, Iberia, Ireland, and the Nordics. As the European sustainability landscape adapts under the influence of shifting EU ESG regulations, geopolitical uncertainty, and developing corporate and shareholder attitudes, the Green Ambassadors continue to assist clients in navigating the cutting-edge of sustainability best practice.
