Compliance and Beyond - ESG and Unfair Contract Terms

DMAW Lawyers recently hosted a group private accounting professionals for our event "Compliance and Beyond - ESG and Unfair Contract Terms".

At this event, Nicole Mead and Callum Ritchie each discussed key considerations and takeaways for accounting professionals in relation to the amended unfair contracts regime and ESG matters.

Nicole presented on the recently introduced mandatory climate reporting obligations commencing from 1 January 2025 as well as touching on other ESG related topics that private accountants' clients should be paying attention to, from modern slavery to greenwashing.

Callum provided a refresher on the unfair contracts regime almost a year on from the amendments which expanded its application, as well as discussing some recent practical examples of the operation of the regime.

Formalities were followed by an opportunity for drinks, nibbles and networking on our Level 12 rooftop terrace.

Thank you to our guests for taking time out of their busy day to join us. We hope you found the content useful and that you were able to take some key points away to share with your clients and colleagues.
