CMBG3 Law’s financial risk assessment specialists
The new definition of a law firm in the deal process
Other law firms only draft legal documents for deals or sell you on their corporate finance and governance experience. Where their experience ends, ours is just beginning. Every day, our professionals consult with major corporations and financial firms on environmental and social risk factors that can cost companies millions of dollars. With CMBG3 Law, you’re not getting add-on advice on risk factors that we only dabble in – you’re tapping into our core areas of expertise.
We’ve already saved companies and financial firms hundreds of millions in losses.
You need us as your new partner in the deal making process.

Corporate Risk Practice
Every day, we are asked by companies to help them identify current risks to their business practices and predict future risks, specifically environmental and social risks. This is our core service to our clients, and with over 300 years of combined risk assessment experience, we’ve saved mom-and-pop to Fortune 100 companies hundreds of millions of dollars in business risk costs.
Financial World Trusted Advisors
Our core expertise makes us key advisors to dealmakers. We use our experience to help dealmakers identify risks to portcos, investment portfolios and lendees that the subject companies may not disclose because they do not fully understand the risks that their business practices present.
ESG
With our specialization in environmental (climate, carbon emissions, air and water pollution, waste management, toxic chemicals) and social issues, we are uniquely suited to help dealmakers on all sides of a deal assess their ESG program and ensure compliance with the program once it’s in place
