The point of change is here. Climate crisis, biodiversity loss, societal shifts, evolving regulation and growing investor demand have pushed sustainable investment into the mainstream.
Our specialist teams of lawyers, consultants and corporate professionals work with clients from across industries to implement and deliver on sustainable investing and ESG related mandates, and to seize the opportunities emerging in the sustainability landscape. Ogier offers clients a powerful platform through this approach of pairing legal and regulatory services with the technical and practical advice of experienced consultants.
Our work includes launching sustainable investment (SI) and impact funds, advising on green and social bonds/loans as well as other sustainability linked structures. We can advise on the incorporation of ESG and/or impact objectives into private wealth and other structures and help clients mitigate risk in the context of ESG and sustainability. Â Â
Our SI Consultancy provides bespoke portfolio design, integration, risk management and reporting solutions to alternative asset managers, private wealth clients and institutional investors.
We have experts located across time zones with many years of SI experience and we continue to invest in our talent to ensure we approach this complex, fast-evolving space with deep understanding and technical expertise.
We recognise that clients that are committed to ESG want to know that the partnerships they form, including with their service providers, are not in themselves an ESG risk. Find out more about Ogier's environmental policy and social commitments.Â
