As local governments and private corporations are starting to realize the significant economic benefits of “going green” our expertise has been pivotal to help our clients achieve their goals. Our Firm has authored or co-authored numerous sustainability and climate plans and worked on innovative projects that have included green building features. Helping a client navigate this new industry and field is important because of the rapidly evolving nature of building codes, green building certifications, and energy standards. We assist our clients in understanding how they will now need to consider new factors in their business model or meet new requirements in project approvals and planning.
A large area of our representation is helping clients navigate the increasing challenges of resiliency and climate adaptation and potential liabilities associated with responding to climate change. The Firm has a strong track record in developing and implementing sustainability and climate plans and linking those initiatives to Comprehensive Plans and Codes. We also have helped numerous real estate investors understand these issues and make more informed judgments about their asset acquisition and portfolios.
We work with planning, engineering and other consulting firms in partnership to achieve our client’s sustainability and climate planning goals. Bringing a unique experience to the project team as both a lawyer and a planner, we can provide enhanced value to our clients in the form of strategic planning and legal advice.
