Overview
A fog of uncertainty hangs over companies and organizations when considering environmental impact and energy consumption. Regulatory policy has been rocked by political shifts and diverging approaches between states and the federal government, even as the effects of climate change make a larger impact. Navigating this evolving landscape requires deep industry knowledge, technical understanding and regulatory foresight.
Manatt’s Energy and Environment team works with clients on a wide range of clean and traditional energy, climate, environmental and natural resources and infrastructure projects. We have a proven track record of successfully guiding contractors, investors, producers, developers, manufacturers and financiers, as well as states and tribal and government entities through complex state and federal regulatory issues, developing compliance strategies that maximize growth while adhering to industry best practices.
