A Leader in Helping Clients Anticipate and Plan for Climate Change Laws and Regulation
We are helping clients in a number of economic sectors to navigate the changing regulatory requirements governing greenhouse gas emissions, including energy producers, manufacturers, forestry companies, utilities, and developers. We help our clients to anticipate and plan for regulatory changes, including the need to incorporate climate impacts into permitting strategies, energy procurement, and environmental reviews.
We advise our clients on:
- Greenhouse gas reporting requirements
- Clean Air Act permitting
- Renewable Portfolio Standards
- Emissions offset policies tied to sequestration of carbon in forests, agricultural lands, or deep underground
- Legal implications of climate adaptation issues, such as planning for increased water needs in a drier watershed, the challenges of building new transmission lines to deliver new renewable energy to cities and towns, and revising land use standards to bring about emission reductions.
