Narine Weldon is a law professor who teaches, researches, and speaks on ESG and a former public company Deputy General Counsel, Chief Privacy Officer, and Chief Compliance Officer for a public company.
"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."
"Whether it's structuring an ESG Program, conducting risk assessments, advising on human rights disclosure requirements, or designing and delivering training, we can provide clients with efficient and cost effective ESG solutions," says Narine Weldon.
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.
