"The launch of our ESG Practice is a natural extension of the global compliance and business ethics work we've delivered to our clients over the past 10 years," said Montes de Oca. "In today's environment, businesses are encountering unprecedented ESG issues with serious implications that require trusted, specialized, and practical advice. I'm excited to lead this important initiative to help our clients."

The Firm draws upon its extensive experience in corporate law and in developing effective global compliance programs for Fortune 500, private and international companies in various industries to ensure that clients receive proactive and thoughtful representation with ESG matters.
