Over the last year-plus, there has been a growing anti-ESG movement in the United States. Most of the focus has been on asset managers. As the leading asset management practice, Ropes & Gray has been in the trenches advising clients on these issues on a daily basis. 

On this podcast, Ropes & Gray thought leaders come together for a timely in-depth discussion of the most recent anti-ESG developments and the demands asset managers are navigating. During the podcast, they discuss fiduciary duties, antitrust, proxy advisors, state legislation, greenwashing and consumer protection claims and ERISA considerations. The participants provide concrete compliance tips. They also provide their predictions for the future.

Ropes & Gray partners Josh Lichtenstein, Samer Musallam, Chong Park, Amy Roy and Rob Skinner share their thoughts. The discussion is moderated by Michael Littenberg, partner and global head of the firm’s ESG, CSR and business & human rights practice.
