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. 

 









Our Values

 

Do More, Together

Clean Energy Counsel values collaboration and teamwork. Engaging with our colleagues and clients leverages the strengths of our deliberately diverse team, reinforces our sense of accountability, and keeps us learning.

 

Improve the Future

Renewable energy is absolutely essential to our future and the future of our planet. As our clients and partners strive to continuously improve the technology that will safeguard life, we’re doing all we can to clear their path. The status quo is not good enough. Our job is to improve the future.

Show You Care

We care about our teammates, respect each other’s contributions, and strive to make our actions and words worthy of others’ respect. That caring is primary at Clean Energy Counsel. It’s not an afterthought or performative; it’s central to who we are and why we do what we do.

 

Maintain Balance

Sustainability requires balance. We work hard, and we are passionate about our mission, but we also need to establish the right balance between work and the rest of our lives. Clean Energy Counsel understands the long-game is best-played—and enjoyed—by a team that is happy, healthy, rested, and fulfilled.

 

Be Positive

Clean Energy Counsel exists to make the world a better place for all, right now. We all share this world and we’re positive that succeeding together is our only choice.

Attorneys’ lives should also be sustainable.

Endless workdays, intense pressure, inhuman focus on racking up billable hours—these are the antithesis of work/life balance but fairly normal for most lawyers. And while attorneys at large firms may work on a renewable energy project one week, they may be assigned to work on a fossil fuel project the next.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

You can do the kind of work that brought you to the field of law in the first place, maintain balance in your life, and still earn as much money as at a giant firm.

Why aren’t you?
