Climate change – and the measures required to address it – raise fundamental business, legal and risk management issues. Working in this evolving arena requires a keen understanding of the complex interaction between energy and environmental regulation, tax, intellectual property, and government contracts, and a firm grasp of trends in the venture capital, private equity and commercial capital markets. Sullivan & Worcester LLP’s Climate-Related Business & Technology Group brings together practitioners with expertise in each of these fields, thus enabling the firm to provide solution-oriented representation and facilitate opportunities for clients to participate in climate-related programs, businesses and markets. The Group has helped clients in matters ranging from approval of the first carbon-offset credits under California’s new program to assistance with energy-technology projects, including the development of new clean-energy generation facilities, and accounting for future climate-change legislation in the negotiation of long-term power purchase agreements.
