About Us: Sustainability

McGuireWoods LLP and McGuireWoods Consulting LLC have implemented an environmental sustainability program in all of our offices, and have jointly established a Sustainable Operations Team to develop and direct the initiative.

The team is led by Daniel Slone, a partner in McGuireWoods’ Richmond office. Slone speaks nationally on sustainability practices and is known for his legal services for developers of New Urban and sustainable projects. He represents the U.S. Green Building Council and the Congress for the New Urbanism, as well as other national organizations focusing on sustainability.

McGuireWoods and McGuireWoods Consulting have worked with clients on sustainability issues for more than 20 years to create sustainable processes and procedures, and establish responsible social programs. We are actively taking part in the American Bar Association and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s joint program, the ABA-EPA Law Office Challenge which is designed to encourage law offices to take meaningful and practical steps to become better environmental and energy stewards.

Our sustainability program is focused on expanding our environmental impact minimization programs across all of our U.S. offices, including utilizing green building standards in our future location and office refurbishment decisions. We have called upon landlords to use the LEED standards in buildings where we have offices, and we intend to use these standards in future space renovation.
