Have you grappled with legal engagement to facilitate aligning your values with your investments?
Many individual investors, foundation leaders, or family offices find it challenging to receive alignment on impact investing from their legal advisors. Likewise, businesses and B-corp entrepreneurs find similar challenges with the legal feedback they have received based on their reporting requirements.
The growing impact investment shift requires navigating complex legal frameworks through new terms, managing advisory feedback that allows for more risk, and updating methods for provisions or clauses when drafting contracts.
Impact lawyers are working to make these changes, yet find parallel challenges in updating their work to support values-aligned investment for people, the planet, and local places.
ImpactPHL is co-hosting an event with the Global Alliance for Impact Lawyers (GAIL) to provide insight from impact lawyers on the pathways they have navigated to support investors, foundations, family offices, and leaders with social impact companies to allow better connection with the legal services needed to align investments with values.
Host facilitators:
- Amaris White, inaugural Impact Investing Principal at Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP.
- Karyn Polak, Founder of Shift the Prism Advisory
Who should attend this in-person and virtual event?
High net worth individuals, family offices, endowment/foundation leadership, philanthropists, investment professionals, pension fund trustees, nonprofit leaders, and anyone interested in broadening their investment horizons.
