NEW YORK — Stradley Ronon partner Steven D. Feldman served as a speaker at an event hosted by the European American Chamber of Commerce’s New York chapter (EACCNY) on February 27 in the firm’s New York office. The discussion, “First You Need to Spot It to Stop It! Managing Greenwashing Risks in the Financial Industry,” focused on challenges in implementing existing Sustainable Finance related rules in both the European Union and the United States and on addressing potential new regulations.
Steve and fellow panelists covered key guidance applicable to EU and U.S. asset managers, including the current legal framework, challenges in integrating climate risks in corporate reporting, how companies can improve the way they measure and manage climate risks, how private litigants and government regulators are targeting climate-related misinformation and best practices in navigating greenwashing risks.
As co-chair of the firm’s white-collar defense, internal investigations and corporate compliance practice, Steve utilizes his more than 25 years of experience in high-stakes litigation to represent companies and individuals in claims related to securities and commodities law violations, public corruption, business crimes and fraudulent practices made by U.S. attorneys’ offices, states attorneys general, district attorneys’ offices, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
