Green or greenwashing: the commercial and litigation risks of eco-conscious advertising

This session will introduce students to the risks of eco-conscious advertising and how law firms might get involved. The session will be interactive, with the students having the opportunity to work with the presenters and identify elements of adverts which could amount to greenwashing, and consider how different stakeholders might be impacted.

Meet the host Stephenson Harwood

At Stephenson Harwood, no two days are the same. Given the firm’s international capability, every day you’ll find yourself working on high-profile, multi-million pound cases. In the past, the firm has advised yacht owners on a 143m mega-yacht, and helped Great Western Developments on the financing of a £835 million development in West London. Stephenson Harwood even helped settle on behalf of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, ending one of the longest running cases in British legal history. The firm even works with a variety of household names, such as Hotel Chocolat and the Royal Bank of Scotland. This wide variety of clients as well as practice areas (life sciences, art law and real estate, to name but a few) allows trainees to learn about a wide range of industries and thus further develop their legal skills.
