Green Industries Initiative
While we all are impacted by the potential environmental consequences of global climate change, we realize that a commitment to going green for a company means more than energy efficiency or reducing its carbon footprint. For our clients, it means reducing the cost of doing business by making energy management and sustainable development a critical part of their business plans. It means developing and manufacturing advanced clean technology or producing renewable energy.
Ice Miller brings together a team of individuals to meet your needs. We bring together a breadth of experience, including professionals whose practice includes environmental law, tax credits, venture capital financing, real estate, energy law, litigation, and intellectual property. This multidisciplinary approach gives our clients the tools to reduce risks and maximize opportunities in the rapidly evolving areas of sustainable development, clean technology, greenhouse gas emissions, and energy management.
Ice Miller assists clients in a variety of industries including corporate and agriculture clients, manufacturers, commercial and real estate developers, architects, colleges and universities and affordable housing developers. Our comprehensive representation includes advising clients in:
