About Clean Energy Counsel
Clean Energy Counsel was formed in 2014, when veteran BigLaw partners and senior in-house renewable energy attorneys were inspired to build a one-of-a-kind law firm. They envisioned a practice that better serves clean energy clients in order to positively impact the world.
Clean Energy Counsel gives attorneys the opportunity to do sophisticated, meaningful, industry-advancing work, all while leading a more balanced life in a work culture that values collaboration and respect. For clients, this translates to an extraordinary level of care, brought to bear for common cause.
With the addition of like-minded attorneys, Clean Energy Counsel grew quickly, maintaining focus on the principles that inspired the firm’s creation. For the whole Clean Energy Counsel team—and the clients that increasingly join us—the mission remains paramount: To provide transformative legal services and solutions that accelerate the world’s transition to a sustainable clean energy future.
As the only mission-driven law firm solely focused on renewable energy, Clean Energy Counsel carries forward its unique model of advancing a sustainable future with sustainable law.
