How would you describe Perkins Coie's ESG practice, as the firm's capabilities in this area?
Allison: Sustainability is an important focus for most companies, whether you want to call it ESG or something else. Corporate leaders regularly consider "E," "S," and "G" topics, including the company's role in and impact on the environment and our social fabric, and how those issues will affect their business in the future. Moreover, the ESG movement of the last five to eight years has made companies put a lot more thought into how they govern these issues, including measuring and reporting on them.
