To better serve clients in the rapidly developing climate change arena, McGuireWoods has created a Climate Change Practice Group of seasoned practitioners and consultants from our environmental, energy, corporate, capital markets, litigation and government relations departments.

Although a relatively new legal sector with unique issues, climate change also presents many of the same kinds of challenges and opportunities that are successfully managed every day by McGuireWoods’ lawyers and consultants. Drawing on the expertise of lawyers and consultants in our existing practice areas with extensive experience in environmental regulatory programs, energy and other project development, the generation and exchanges of air and water credits and offsets, securities, venture capital, compliance, and legislative and regulatory development, McGuireWoods provides the multidisciplinary approach that is essential to serving clients facing climate change issues or considering climate change business opportunities.

Our integrated team provides clients with carbon specific representation on energy projects, carbon credits and trading, corporate disclosure and governance, corporate self-assessments, mergers and acquisitions, green tech investments, green building development, government relations and policy, regulatory developments and compliance, and litigation. Our climate change practice consists of the following services:

Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS)
Carbon Disclosure
Carbon Due Diligence
Carbon Policy
Efficiency and Demand-Side Management
GHG Permitting
Green Buildings and Green Communities
