1. Energy Transition and Climate Law Compliance
Navigating the legal implications of energy transition requires a deep understanding of national and international climate commitments. From U.S. federal emissions mandates to state-specific renewable portfolio standards (RPS), our team guides clients in maintaining full regulatory compliance while advancing their clean energy goals.
Energy Transition and U.S. Federal Climate Frameworks
We advise on the Clean Air Act, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), and SEC climate disclosure rules. These laws present opportunities for tax credits, enhanced reporting requirements, and liability mitigation.
Energy Transition and Global Sustainability Standards
Clients operating internationally must align with frameworks such as the Paris Agreement and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). Our team ensures global compliance while managing jurisdictional nuances.
2. Energy Transition and Renewable Infrastructure Development
Transitioning to a cleaner energy system requires aggressive build-out of renewable assets, such as wind farms, solar fields, hydrogen hubs, and battery storage systems. We support clients from concept to construction and operation.
Energy Transition and Permitting Challenges
We help clients obtain permits under NEPA, ESA, and local zoning laws. We also advise on environmental justice considerations in underserved communities.
Energy Transition and Project Finance
Our legal team advises on green bonds, tax equity financing, energy-as-a-service (EaaS) models, and public-private partnerships. We structure deals that attract capital while ensuring compliance.
3. Energy Transition and Energy Market Reform
As clean energy decentralizes the grid, traditional market rules must evolve. Our lawyers assist clients in adapting to changes in rate design, wholesale market access, and utility compensation frameworks.
Energy Transition and Regulatory Rate Design
We counsel on time-of-use pricing, net metering, and demand response incentives—tools that align customer behavior with grid sustainability.
Energy Transition and Grid Modernizatio
Legal issues surrounding smart grids, V2G (vehicle-to-grid), and microgrid development require forward-thinking counsel. We help clients innovate responsibly.
