Climate Change Mitigation

Overview

Adams & Reese advises companies navigating the legal, regulatory, and business challenges of climate change mitigation. As industries work to adapt to evolving environmental policies, shifting market demands, and technological advancements, we provide strategic counsel to help clients make informed decisions and seize sustainable opportunities.

Our attorneys guide clients through every stage of Renewable Energy, Carbon Sequestration, and Natural Gas projects, from site selection and permitting to financing, regulatory approvals, and economic incentives. Whether advising on solar, wind, biomass, or carbon capture initiatives, we ensure compliance with environmental laws while structuring agreements to maximize long-term value.

With a presence in Washington, DC, and offices across the Southeast region as far west as Texas and Colorado, Adams & Reese actively tracks federal, state, and local regulatory developments. Our attorneys monitor policy shifts from agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), equipping clients with timely insights to navigate compliance challenges and capitalize on emerging opportunities. 

Our experience includes advising energy operators, investors, utilities, and landowners on transactions, structuring mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, and financing agreements that drive climate-focused initiatives. We help clients assess risks, secure funding, and structure deals that align with both market demands and regulatory requirements.

When disputes arise, Adams & Reese provides strategic advocacy in litigation and administrative proceedings, helping clients resolve challenges while maintaining momentum on climate-drive projects. With a focus on practical solutions and long-term success, we position clients to advance their sustainability goals while effectively managing risk.
