GAIL launched in February 2022 with a series of international events

Launch Week unveiled the forward-looking agenda of the organisation, which will support the growth of a community of ‘impact lawyers’ who will advocate for and champion a rapid and just transition towards a truly sustainable and inclusive economy.

Events during Launch Week covered GAIL’s impact areas and included the following:

• Sir Ronald Cohen’s keynote speech in which he shares his perspectives on the Impact Revolution and its implications for law and lawyers
• GAIL & the Regulatory Endgame for the Just Transition
• Structuring Impact Funds and exploring the conflict between environmental, social and governance factors, the human rights responsibilities of business, and commercial pressures
• GAIL Latinoamérica: Práctica legal para el bien común
• Being an impact lawyer and hearing from lawyers who are focussed on empowering impact through their careers
• The changing landscape of ESG disclosure and regulation in key markets
• Capital Markets: Externalities, Benefit Corps & Universal Ownership, why fiduciaries need to concern themselves with the performance of the markets overall
