What the Team is Known For

Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer has expertise in banking and finance and environmental work, and advises clients on ESG-linked loans and sustainability projects. It regularly acts for multinational corporates on these matters.

Work Highlights

  • Freshfields defended RWE AG in an action brought before a German court by a Peruvian national living in the Andes. The Peruvian claimant, funded by NGO Germanwatch, alleged that RWE caused a glacier to thaw, creating a flood risk to the claimant's property, due to its CO2 emissions and consequent contribution to worldwide climate change.
