Webinar | The Law Society Guidance on the Impact of Climate Change on Solicitors

Our recent webinar ‘The Law Society Guidance on the Impact of Climate Change on Solicitors: What does this mean for solicitors?’ is now available to watch on demand.

The webinar, hosted by Landmark, focussed on The Law Society Guidance on the Impact of Climate Change on Solicitors, and was originally shown on the 4th May.

The webinar was specifically designed for solicitors as a tool to help them understand the guidance and its implications.

The session covers two main areas of the guidance.

• Firstly, reducing the climate change impact of the law firm and its clients, which includes assessing annual carbon emissions and setting targets to achieve net zero by 2050.
• Secondly, the guidance examines climate change risks, including the duties of advising and warning clients about such risks.

Our distinguished speakers are Kirsty Green-Mann, Head of Corporate Responsibility at Burges Salmon LLP, Professor Robert Lee at Birmingham University, and Simon Boyle, Environmental Lawyer at Landmark. 

AGENDA:

• Summary of the Law Society Guidance and what this means for solicitors’ advice
• What’s the role that a law firm plays in reducing its carbon footprint and disclosing climate-related risks and opportunities?
• An overview of how Burges Salmon has implemented Net Zero
• Panel Discussion: What are the requirements for lawyers to fulfil the guidance and next steps for them
• Q&A
