Distinct from ESG, impact investing actively seeks to create a positive impact. Investors may aim to achieve mission-based objectives or strive to generate a financial return alongside a social or environmental benefit.
This practice area covers structuring and documenting impact investment transactions, over a range of different assets through various investment strategies. The type of work that features in this table typically includes: venture capital, private equity, corporate securities, M&A, commercial lending, fund formation and early-stage company representation. Firms and attorneys highlighted in this section are exclusively those with capability in handling the impact-investment related aspect of transactions. Firms may represent philanthropies, fund managers, social enterprises, foundations and high net worth individuals. This practice area does not include ESG work.
