Our ESG litigators help companies develop practical, proactive strategies to limit their exposure to greenwashing claims,<a> </a>reduce the likelihood of costly and disruptive claims, and increase the chances of successfully defending against them. We have several decades of litigation and trial experience, which includes working with experts on substantiation of green-related claims and defending against claims of deceptive marketing and unfair advertising. Our litigation proficiency, coupled with our regulatory counseling experience, enables us to identify your company’s greenwashing risks and develop effective mitigation strategies.

contentpilot/introduction

core/heading

To identify greenwashing risks that might expose your business to potential claims, we evaluate selected marketing claims, products or services. We meet with your company’s key legal, ESG and marketing personnel to help develop a strategy that mirrors the company’s sustainability efforts and complies with the relevant guidance on the marketing of environmental benefit claims. We review public statements about your products or services to analyze risk transfer options involved in the supply chain. We then assess the risk that the selected marketing claims, products or services might be the subject of greenwashing claims and the litigation, regulatory and reputational impact of those claims. We prioritize the risks to be addressed and offer mitigation strategies designed to reduce claims and increase defensibility. Because businesses must operate in the real world, and not the theoretical world, we focus on addressing your greenwashing exposure through practical risk reduction strategies that are consistent with your business practices.

core/paragraph

Our greenwashing risk assessment will culminate in a privileged and confidential report that identifies the greenwashing risks associated with the marketing claims, products or services reviewed and offers several risk mitigation strategies.

Because we are sensitive to the growing pressure to manage costs, we conduct our greenwashing risk assessment for a fixed fee, which is determined by the number and nature of the marketing claims, products or services reviewed, your company’s size and number of affiliates, the complexity of your supply chain, and the nature of your business. We provide our quote up front, after we agree on the scope of the risk assessment.

Examples of other services we provide to help identify, address and mitigate risk include:

Provide greenwashing compliance counseling
