Diversity and inclusion, environmental, social and governance (ESG) efforts, as well as getting employees back into the office safely, are among the topics that boards of directors and their general counsel should be concerned about in 2021, according to a report published Wednesday by Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld.

“This year, what we’re doing is a proactive, holistic approach to governance as we talk to our clients, their boards and general counsel,” Kerry Berchem, a partner at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld in New York, said of the report.
