London-based Bishop & Sewell has become the latest law firm to launched an ESG (environmental, social and governance) advisory group to assist the firm and its clients

ESG, viewed as increasingly important by clients, touches on multiple aspects of legal practice.

Bishop & Sewell partner Rachel Waller, who will lead the new advisory group with partner Thom Wilkinson, said: ‘It is important to us to ensure that we work towards and not against creating a fairer and more sustainable world.’
