Sustainability

We bring together the right team of experienced lawyers to proficiently meet or exceed the needs of "green" businesses.

We stay a step ahead by embracing innovation, always expanding our knowledge and constantly finding better ways to help both new and established businesses achieve their goals. We use a multidisciplinary approach to combine transactional experience and business acumen with the firm's resources in mergers and acquisitions, project development, environmental remediation, project financing and related structured financing. Working together, our lawyers provide practical, thoughtful and informed advice on complex transactions, keeping our clients one step ahead of the competition. Our clients benefit from our lawyers' experience in managing, negotiating and executing intricate transactions in electric power, natural gas, LNG, transmission, manufacturing and renewable energy sources.

We have experience with biomass, fuel cells, geothermal, hydropower, municipal and hazardous waste, ocean wave/tidal, solar, waste to energy, water supply, stormwater, and wind.

Our knowledge will guide you through the maze of complex issues involved with federal, state and local regulatory compliance, maximizing tax incentives and renewable energy credits, power transmission, commercializing technologies and protecting intellectual property and other assets.

We represent companies that are cutting-edge leaders in the efficient use of land, air and water resources, including the reduction or avoidance of environmental damage from greenhouse gases, hazardous emissions and waste materials. Our Sustainability Practice draws on our multifunctional capabilities to help businesses with green initiatives, including the development, installation and use of pollution control equipment, energy efficiency and electricity management systems and smart grid technologies.
