Mayer Brown recognised in Legal 500 Green Guide: United Kingdom 2025
The Green Guide highlighted the firm’s work advising major corporate and banking clients on leading investments, transactions and financings within the green transition, including:
- Advising International Finance Corporation on the $75m issuance of sustainability notes, whose proceeds will support diverse sustainability objectives including the financing of MSMEs involved in green and social projects.
- Advising CDPQ on sustainability reporting and disclosure matters, including its obligations under the EU CSRD.
In the pro bono space, the firm provides free legal and compliance assistance to sustainability-focused startups from Imperial College’s Enterprise Lab through the Green Tech Legal Collaborative. The firm’s lawyers also serve on industry panels including the International Capital Markets Association Advisory Council on green, social, sustainability, and sustainability-linked bond principles, and on the Circular Fashion Innovation Network Advisory Board.
The guide also points to the firm’s internal green agenda and carbon footprint reduction practices. Pursuing the aims stated in its responsible business statement, Mayer Brown operates in London from a BREEAM Excellent office which features an ISO140001 accreditation, procures its electricity from entirely renewable sources, and sends zero waste to landfills.
