"We can choose what we support, and what we don’t support. We do not have to be neutral professional service providers. We must use the power of the law to deliver a sustainable future."

Delivering the opening remarks virtually, Jeroen outlined the significant role lawyers will play in tackling climate change, as firms help their clients to​ "navigate the conflicting laws​ and regulations across jurisdictions and to anticipate policy and regulatory ​changes including in the area of green finance".
