Clean Tech & Renewables

Green Since the Beginning of “Clean”

When clean energy was just a notion, we already had a team in place that saw the potential and believed in the innovation it could bring. We are known as a law firm that helped form and build the industry 15 years ago. Today we're a leading US law firm in the space. We use our industry knowledge to help clients across the ecosystem. It's how we advise businesses, from start-ups to Fortune 100 companies.
