"Greenwashing, Sustainability Disclosures, and the Lawyer's Ethical Duties," Davis Wright Tremaine Webinar

As part of New York Climate Week, Davis Wright Tremaine hosted a practical webinar examining the professional responsibility issues that arise when advising on sustainability disclosures, climate commitments, and ESG-related claims.

As regulatory scrutiny and litigation risk continue to evolve, lawyers play a critical role in helping organizations navigate the line between advocacy and accuracy.

Through practical examples and emerging enforcement trends, we explore how the Rules of Professional Conduct apply to greenwashing risk and sustainability-related communications, including duties of competence, truthfulness, confidentiality, supervision, and the lawyer's role as advisor.
