Christian Perez-Font has one of the most unique law practices I’ve come across.We spoke at a conference around three years ago, and we’ve kept in touch since then. I’ve had him come on several podcasts to talk about his analytical and data-driven approach to legal issues in the world of ESG. Watch ▶️ ESG Through a Legal Lens with Christian Perez-FontKey points discussed in the episode:✔️ Christian Perez-Font gives us a background on his professional experience - a lawyer by trade who sees compliance as business support. He also defines the mantra of his company, Thinkeen Legal.✔️ The right perspective going into data tracking and analyzing - seeing data as fuel for your business and a measure of progress.✔️ The intersection of ESG and compliance in social responsibility and governance.✔️ Manufacturing companies are cognizant of the environmental aspect of ESG. However, “E” goes beyond companies with plants subjected to carbon footprint regulation.✔️ Data analytics is all about utilizing and presenting relevant data. Don’t be the Instagram of corporations. You don’t have to publish every number for investors to avoid the threat of transparency.✔️ Track political contributions. Talk about diversity. ✔️ There are no a-ha moments in data tracking. Don’t wait for the trends to pass. Start now, then it’ll be easier to spot any spikes or changes so you can quickly make adjustments to your ESG program.✔️ Data shouldn’t be used to prove how good a company is. It should be to learn and know if you’re on the right track.✔️ The role of the auditor in data tracking.✔️Data analytics and tracking play a major role in business acquisitions. Know as much as you can about the other. Understand the company’s ESG program and have a clear grasp of its social responsibility and environmental footprint.✔️ Trade sanctions and trade compliance have become a huge part of data analysis in ESG.✔️Using data visualization to convince your board that the ability to present information is a valuable asset.✔️Changing policies isn’t a sign of weakness but of progress.Christian Perez-Font is the managing partner of Thinkeen Legal, a law firm that specializes in corporate and commercial law, domestic and cross-border transactions, and compliance with a focus on startups, small and mid-sized companies.

ESG Through a Legal Lens with Christian Perez-Font

Christian Perez Font is the founder of Thinkeen Legal, a law firm that uniquely incorporates data analytics, compliance and law. He began his career as a corporate attorney and in 2008 joined Baxter International, a multinational healthcare company, as in-house counsel. When he joined Baxter, his work was 10% compliance-related and 90% business-related, but by the time he left 5 years later, he was doing 65% compliance work. The key to becoming a better compliance professional, he proposes, is to become a better business person. He and host Tom Fox discuss the importance of data in compliance and in business.Data as FuelWhen people think about Data Analytics they imagine some form of AI that's going to automatically pinpoint problems. Christian says that the truth is that Data Analytics has to be at the core of compliance: data is the fuel that powers the compliance engine. It’s the data that will tell you how you should be communicating compliance policies and doing training so that you can achieve your business goals. Most of the data that is used for compliance purposes is already there from the business side; you just need to understand how to aggregate it, how to look for it and how to plug it in. You have to understand your industry and your company goals before you start collecting that data.How Thinkeen Uses Data Tom asks how Thinkeen Legal uses its data proficiency in mergers and acquisitions, transactional work and compliance. Christian shares how his company used its data expertise to advise clients in cross border transactions. Because we know where the touch points are, he says, we’re able to incorporate them into the due diligence process and ask the right questions and get the right information. They can identify areas of risk which helps their clients decide whether to proceed with an acquisition. Christian finds that general counsels are becoming more savvy about compliance and they appreciate that his firm gives them advice and support.The Future of Data and ComplianceThe intersection of law, data and compliance will continue to evolve, Christian predicts. He is happy that the importance of Data Analytics is being acknowledged. If you don’t have the right data, you won’t get the right information, without which you can’t make the best business decisions. In addition, a big part of what we do with data is benchmarking, Christian says. The more information that we can share among the industry, the better.ResourcesThinkeenLegal.comThinkeen Legal on Twitter | InstagramChristian Perez Font on LinkedIn
