Webinar: The Transatlantic Tightrope: AI, ESG and the Evolving Duty of Care for Multinational Companies

September 15, 2025
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM ET

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes embedded in global business practices, multinational companies face new and complex duties, particularly at the intersection of AI use, ESG commitments, ethical considerations, and cross-border legal frameworks.

This timely session will focus on how organizations can align AI deployment with ESG obligations, with special attention to human rights impacts, bias, and fairness in AI systems, and the evolving role of legal advisors, including in-house counsel, in guiding responsible implementation and adherence to professional responsibility rules. In addition to ethical concerns, parallel challenges around data privacy, regulatory compliance, and reputational risk remain critical.

Join Mariah Leffingwell and Sam Saarsteiner for a conversation, moderated by co-chair of Clark Hill’s ESG & Sustainability advisory practice, Maram Salaheldin,  that bridges the Atlantic—and the gap between innovation and accountability—as they explore how today’s duty of care must adapt to tomorrow’s technologies.

The session will conclude with a Q&A exploring how legal and corporate leaders, particularly Chief Legal Officers and General Counsel, can navigate this evolving duty of care across jurisdictions.

*CLE is pending in Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas. Certificates of attendance are available for Ireland and Mexico.
