Climate Change
The majority of SNR Denton clients and, for
that matter, the world’s population, are making changes to the way
they go about their business in order to tackle climate change. SNR
Denton has its own internal policies and is committed to affecting
change.
Our energy team is more than 70 years old
and, as the energy sector has developed, we have been fortunate to
have had a role in its development. Over the past 20 years we have
advised on pathfinder projects that tackle climate change issues
both in the public and private sector and worked with clients to
address their challenges. These range from strategies to invest in
and deploy climate change technologies, management of portfolios to
address evolving regulatory frameworks, application of new
regulations and drafting legislation and industry guidance notes.
Working with our clients we have successfully completed a wide
array of renewable, sustainability and carbon reduction
transactions across the world.
We bring our climate change knowledge and
experience to SNR Denton clients in other industry sectors,
including retail, manufacturing and real estate, in order to meet
their legal obligations and take advantage of new
opportunities.
The climate change arena is complex,
multi-layered, developing and evolving at different speeds across
the world. In response, the SNR Denton lawyers have organized
themselves in specific areas of industry and geographic knowledge
to ensure that you speak to someone with the right contextual
knowledge and experience from day one.
