Big Oil's favorite lawyers hoped to greenwash away this #EarthDay , but we've got the receipts ⬇️
Happy #EarthDay2021 from @akin_gump, the firm that lobbies for Chevron, Exxon, and Koch Industries! https://twitter.com/akin_gump/status/1385242591441084418?s=20
Learn about renewable energy from a firm that does 70 times more fossil fuel transactions than renewables! https://twitter.com/VinsonandElkins/status/1385233176704929794?s=20
This #EarthDay2021 @SidleyLaw wanted to let us know about its bold action like recycling paper, but maybe Sidley Austin could not, you know, side with the Trump administration against the Indigenous Environmental Network? https://twitter.com/SidleyLaw/status/1385235105397018628?s=20
And seriously, @bakermckenzie, planting one tree for each person at your firm--13,000 trees--is great. But we're not sure that's going to compensate for the fossil fuel transactions worth $25,893,000,000 that you supported in the last five years... https://twitter.com/bakermckenzie/status/1385211819548160002?s=20
We're intrigued by @lathamwatkins's new Sustainability Report and need to read fully. But it seems your work litigating and facilitating transactions for fossil fuel clients is conspicuously absent from your discussion, and you do A LOT of fossil fuel work https://twitter.com/lathamwatkins/status/1385229408286380038?s=20
And @ShearmanLaw, your work with Conservation International is genuinely good!

But you also supported $57 billion of fossil fuel transactions over five years, including a coal-fired power plant that kills 1,020 people per year https://twitter.com/ShearmanLaw/status/1385264749047214080?s=20
