Hey [USER=29424]@al97[/USER],

This is so well-researched, thank you so much for keeping up with this! It is helping me a lot with understanding business deals more in-depth.

Reading about these oil and gas M&A deals really make me question what will be the future of ESG considerations when it comes to remunerative deals like this, especially in the oil and gas industry? With the rise of sustainability concerns, the role of lawyers will also have to include a particular attention to how these types of deals are detrimental to the environment. Many firms now like Vinson & Elkins for instance are committed to acting in their clients’ best interests consistent with our fiduciary duty, client goals, and legal requirements when it comes to ESG concerns. How will the legal system change with the rise of sustainability concerns? And how the oil and gas industry will cope with the increase of stringent measure to limit the negative consequences on the environment? I am really interested in this topic so thank you so much!
