Many companies are turning to their outside counsel for advice as they navigate the rapidly expanding clean energy transition. The United States and many other countries are in the midst of perhaps the most rapidly evolving and disruptive period of energy, environmental, and social transition in history. Diminishing and ultimately eliminating carbon and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the U.S. and global energy systems have become a priority of the government, energy providers, consumers, and investors here at home and around the globe.
Our attorneys and advisors are helping clients evaluate their opportunities to create climate solutions and, in some instances, repurpose assets to capture value in the clean energy markets. Some clients are seeking our advice as they consider changes to operating and reporting practices to meet the expectations of customers, investors and government agencies.
Thompson Coburn’s advisors on energy and environmental policy, the legislative process and government regulation, and our energy, environmental, corporate, and tax attorneys are well-versed in the various agencies, regulations and laws that affect companies involved in and affected by the clean energy transition. We are working with clients on carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS), greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting, renewable energy, blue and green hydrogen and ammonia production, net-zero LNG, emissions reduction verification and trading, and the modernization of our nation’s physical, IT, and social infrastructure. The Thompson Coburn team has a deep understanding of the laws, policies, regulations, markets, technologies and politics that will shape the new clean energy infrastructure.
Our people have served in senior roles at the U.S. Department of Energy, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the Departments of the Interior and Transportation, the Treasury and IRS. Thompson Coburn attorneys have also worked at federal and state environmental protection agencies, as staff on key committees of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives and State Legislatures, worked with Governors across the country, and have served as state and local government officials.
