Green Building & Energy Technology

Whether you are an investor, technology innovator, renewable-energy developer, or real estate owner, the green building market is full of exciting opportunities. To successfully navigate your green building project, you need more than lawyers who know a thing or two about a LEED checklist. You need a team of professionals who can see the whole picture. Mintz Levin’s Green Building & Energy Technology Practice brings together attorneys and professionals from relevant disciplines to provide comprehensive counsel.

We approach our clients’ issues with a perspective that takes in the whole ecosystem of the market.  We have real estate attorneys with sophisticated leasing experience, environmental lawyers who can see how new regulations will shape demand for green technology, project development attorneys who help clients get renewable projects financed and built, corporate and intellectual property lawyers who help investors and companies that are bringing new green building technologies to market, litigators who can see how green contract provisions may play out when a dispute arises, and government relations strategists who navigate regulatory approval for development projects and make sure clean technologies get a fair shake in the legislative process.
