Susan Maslow & Patrick Miller Discuss Model Contract Clauses for Human Rights Protections in Supply Chains

ESG Decoded is a podcast powered by ClimeCo to share updates related to business innovation and sustainability in a clear and actionable manner.

In this episode, Kaitlyn Allen is joined by Susan Maslow and Patrick Miller. Sue is a  Co-Founder and Partner of Antheil. Maslow & MacMinn LLP. She also serves as Vice Chair of the Working Group to Draft Human Rights Protections in International Supply Contracts, American Bar Association (ABA) Business Law Section, and as Chair of the ABA Business Law Section’s Corporate Social Responsibility Law Committee.  Sue concentrates her practice primarily on general corporate transactional work and finance documentation, including stock and asset acquisitions, mergers, distributorships, software services, development and licensing arrangements, and business separations. Patrick is the Founding Attorney of Impact Advocates, a law firm focusing on international commercial dispute resolution through arbitration, mediation, and litigation. He assists companies in implementing responsible supply chain frameworks – recently working with an ABA Business Law Section Working Group, which developed a comprehensive set of contractual provisions to address potential human rights violations in international supply chains.

Listen as Kaitlyn, Sue, and Patrick discuss the American Bar Association (ABA)’s Model Contract Clauses (MCCs) for the Human Rights Project, which provides practical tools to help buyers and suppliers protect the human rights of workers in supply chains. We hope everyone who listens to the episode is inspired to do their part (as a business owner or consumer) to eradicate this form of modern-day slavery.
