Clean Tech

We are actively engaged in the support and development of companies and entrepreneurs in which technological innovation plays a critical role in progress towards global energy and environmental sustainability. We are passionate about assisting companies that provide green, clean, and energy technology solutions and have relationships within the entire market eco-system.

Our lawyers are deeply experienced in serving the diverse legal needs of clean tech companies, which include financing, technology licensing and transfers, intellectual property strategy and protection, strategic alliances, regulatory compliance, sustainable company policies and charter documents, product sourcing and distribution, tax and other incentives for energy and green projects, monetization of carbon offsets, and a broad range of other business legal matters.  We understand the challenges of building a company in a new market area and are uniquely qualified to assist clean tech companies in this demanding environment.

Our legal team is at the forefront of law and policy developments that affect clean tech companies.  We participate in organizations and state and local committees that are involved with climate change legislation and regulations. We closely monitor developments at federal, state and local levels relating to carbon offsets, air and water quality, emissions caps, and tax and other incentives for energy and green projects.
