Adam Heppinstall KC speaking as part of a panel at the Legal 500 ESG Summit – Wednesday 25 June 2025

Adam Heppinstall KC of Henderson Chambers will be joining a panel with Travers Smith and Portland Communications speaking on “The Rise of ESG Litigation: What Every GC Should Know” at The Legal 500 ESG Summit on Wednesday 25 June 2025.

1:15pm–2:05pm The Rise of ESG Litigation: What Every GC Should Know

As the regulatory landscape shifts and arguably pulls back, and as the world is increasingly polarised and uncertain, the focus on a company’s sustainability record is not abating. Litigation and regulatory mechanisms to hold businesses to account may come even more to the fore in this environment, as ESG activism and a focus on value and sustainability remain top of the agenda. This panel explores how novel ESG litigation risk is evolving and what GCs need to do to be prepared for it.

• Heather Gagen, head of dispute resolution | co-head of ESG & impact, Travers Smith (panel host)
• Adam Heppinstall KC, barrister, Henderson Chambers
• Simon Pugh, partner, Portland Communications
