On 12 March, Senior Managing Director Richard Druce will speak at the 4th Annual ESG Litigation Summit in a session titled “Revisiting Greenwashing—Prospects, Precedent, and Present Cases.” The panel will evaluate avenues for pursuing greenwashing litigation in the United Kingdom and explore how the FCA’s new guidelines have affected behaviour. The session will also explore what can be learned from greenwashing cases in other jurisdictions. Mr. Druce will speak alongside Leigh Day Partner Daniel Leader, Eversheds Sutherland Partner Kari McCormick, Enyo Law Partner Anna Brownrigg, and Loyens & Loeff Partner Marit Bosselaar.

In a separate session, Senior Managing Director George Anstey will participate in a panel discussion titled “Reassessing the Potential of Group Litigation for ESG.” The panel will discuss how the CAT’s dismissal of the Thames Water case affects prospects for future ESG litigation in the CAT, the options that remain for bringing ESG cases under the competition regime, and more promising mechanisms for collective redress for ESG claims. Mr. Anstey will speak alongside Simmons & Simmons Partner Eleanore Di Claudio and 4 New Square Barrister Daniel Saoul KC.
