Bird & Bird’s involvement in renewable energy and cleantech forms part of our longstanding and broadly based work in the energy and utilities sectors.
Our Renewables and Cleantech Team advise commercial and public sector organisations on a wide range of legal issues within the renewables and cleantech sector including advice on the use of carbon credits and trading schemes, solar and wind feed-in tariffs, unbundling of European energy supplies and protection and maximisation of intellectual property assets.
Our clients include many organisations who are developing or investing in projects and technological solutions to the challenges presented by the combined forces of climate change and energy security. We advise these clients on a wide range of issues such as corporate work, projects, intellectual property, regulatory, commercial contracts and dispute resolution.
