Winston & Strawn partner Cari Stinebower was quoted in a Law360 article discussing the legal and regulatory hurdles U.S. oil and gas companies now face when considering new investments in Venezuela amid recent political changes. Cari explained that with extensive U.S. sanctions against the Venezuelan government and state-owned oil company Petróleos de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA) still in place, few companies will risk doing business until those sanctions are relaxed—either through general or specific licenses issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or by executive orders that lift the restrictions.

ESG in finance can refer to, among other things, financing tools such as Green, Social, and Sustainability Bonds and similar ESG-related debt instruments, as well as the separate discipline of ESG Investing. ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. Investors are increasingly applying these non-financial factors as part of their analysis to identify ESG-related risks and opportunities in particular investments. ESG metrics have not historically been included in financial reporting, though companies are increasingly making disclosures in their annual report or in a standalone sustainability report, and regulatory requirements for such disclosures, including from the SEC, are expanding.
