Sustainability & Human Rights Compliance, Arbitration and International Litigation

We advise clients on sustainability and human rights compliance

Male Data Scientist Works on Personal Computer Control and Monitoring Room.

We advise clients on sustainability and human rights compliance, with a strong focus on international standards, ESG due diligence, and emerging regulatory frameworks. Our practice combines legal excellence with strategic insight, assisting clients in managing complex compliance requirements and addressing sustainability-related risks across jurisdictions.

We support companies in building the capabilities and expertise needed to protect and enhance the non-financial value of their operations and value chains. Our services include advising on corporate human rights and environmental due diligence, impact assessment, and non-financial reporting, as well as helping clients integrate ESG considerations into business strategies. We assist in the development of sustainability frameworks, internal policies, codes of conduct (covering areas such as environmental protection, human rights, health and welfare), and responsible value chain models. 

We provide comprehensive advice on the contractual governance of commercial relationships throughout the value chain, ensuring alignment with leading international sustainability and human rights standards, including the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the OECD Guidelines. We are particularly experienced in designing and implementing contractual tools and compliance mechanisms—such as model clauses, compliance programmes, and certification pathways—that enable clients to navigate regulatory uncertainty and rapidly evolving legal landscapes. Our approach is forward-looking and value-driven, helping organizations anticipate regulatory developments and transform compliance obligations into strategic opportunities. 

Our team represents companies, individuals, and other stakeholders in international and European litigation across a wide range of areas, including human rights, environmental and climate law, and international investment law. We also act in international arbitration and alternative dispute resolution proceedings, with specific expertise in business and human rights arbitration under the UNCITRAL Rules (including the Hague Rules on Business and Human Rights Arbitration), as well as proceedings before the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA).
