Dentons Rodyk's Environment, Sustainability and Natural Resources practice was established in 2021, after the hiring of climate law specialist Ipshita Chaturvedi, as a focused, stand-alone practice to assist clients in all aspects of the great energy transition. The firm is now an established name for supporting carbon transactions, renewable energy projects, green and transition finance, biodiversity law and supply chain management. Asian Legal Business (ALB) has recognised the firm as one of the top ESG law firms in Asia as a result.

This award highlights law firms that are delivering exceptional legal services in the ESG space and playing a vital role in guiding clients through the complex and ever-changing regulatory landscape.

Head of Practice, Ipshita Chaturvedi, said, “Law is the bridge that translates theory into practice. We play a unique role in helping the public and private sectors transition to a low-carbon economy by providing advice that is strategic, technically sound, and sustainable both for the planet and business. We are one of the only firms that has a dedicated ESG practice – not tied to any other. As opposed to merely providing legal advice on an ESG transaction that is led by a third party, we actively help shape the ESG strategy that weaves sustainability into our clients’ operations. This award acknowledges our dedication to assisting our clients in this space as well as our commitment to play our part to help preserve nature and its wonderful inhabitants.”
