The long-awaited release of the SEC's proposed
climate-related disclosures rule on March 21 has shed light on the
intended path the Commission plans to take with regards to the
expansion and standardization of such disclosures. It has also
elicited a host of questions and challenges for public companies,
their officers, directors, and corporate counsel around what
information should be disclosed and what company leadership should
do now to prepare for future reporting obligations.
We invite you to join us for a webinar that will examine key
takeaways from the proposed rule, along with implications for
public company leadership and the steps they can take to maneuver
in this increasingly challenging legal landscape. The presentation
will include perspectives from a former Massachusetts Governor and
Members from both our Corporate and Litigation Practices.
Our panel will discuss, among other topics:
- Existing ESG disclosure frameworks and the historic SEC stance on disclosures
- Responses and reactions to the proposed regulations to date
- Immediate tactical and strategic considerations for companies
- Perspectives from the government
- What to expect next: the public comment period allowing corporations to weigh in and potential litigation
