It started at a private equity conference in Sweden in 2018: A team of Italian lawyers heard presentations on the growing field of ESG investments and realized that, as a firm, they needed to be more involved in this new area in order to support their clients.

Today, Gianni & Origoni has a 20-lawyer, nine-partner ESG focus team, part of a growing trend among law firms to offer a one-stop solution for clients interested in managing the risks and opportunities of sustainable business practices.
