Leah Malone, Head of Simpson Thacher’s ESG and Sustainability Practice, was quoted in a POLITICO article titled, “All Rise: ESG Investing Lands on Judges’ Desks.” The article discussed how the debate surrounding corporate sustainability policies is playing out in the courts, as well as how the various lawsuits may impact the ESG space more broadly. Leah explained that the outcome of a recent Oklahoma lawsuit, where a state court blocked enforcement of one of the most aggressive anti-ESG laws in the country, could prompt players in other states to sue over other similar laws.
