We combine our international resources and sector expertise to support our clients' work right across the globe.

Action on climate change and sustainability are at the core of our business strategy, and we are amongst the first law firms to commit to a science-based Net Zero target.

Activism is ground zero for environmental, social, and corporate governance risk. By tracking and analysing activist campaigning worldwide, SIGWATCH helps businesses and their advisors and investors navigate the ESG terrain, and anticipate emerging issues and potentially disruptive shifts in market and stakeholder sentiment.

Founded in 1997, SIGWATCH today works with over 70 companies, including world-leading multinationals, law firms, management consultants and financial institutions. Our specially developed database, updated daily, records campaigning by thousands of activist groups in every major economy, covering every type of social concern, from environment and sustainability, to animal rights and civil liberties.

This unique dataset is made available to our clients through an online portal or direct as a data feed, and also brought to life by our team of in-house experts, who provide political and social interpretation, insight, and forecasting.
