ESG Considerations in M&A

ESG CONSIDERATIONS IN M&A

Partners George Casey, Doreen Lilienfeld and Paul Strecker and associate Matthew Behrens co-authored an article with Marc Mezey, principal counsel at the International Finance Corporation, titled “ESG Considerations in M&A.” The article, originally published in The M&A Lawyer and subsequently in Corporate Board Member, discusses how environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations are becoming increasingly important in M&A transactions. It also explores how to address ESG considerations in the context of an M&A transaction, including conducting ESG-focused due diligence, allocating ESG risk in transaction documentation, and implementing post-closing ESG integration.
