Powell Goldstein Launches Sustainability Practice Group

ATLANTA, April 22 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Powell Goldstein LLP today announces the launch of its new Sustainability Practice. The firm-wide group brings together attorneys from all of the firm's locations and centralizes the work they are already doing in this area on behalf of clients.

"The formation of this practice has flowed seamlessly out of our existing efforts to support clients as they work to address environmental issues, and it seemed appropriate to launch it today on Earth Day," said Stephen B. Schrock, head of the Sustainability Practice. "This group allows us to focus our efforts as our clients work to address sustainability and other environmental issues in all aspects of their operations."

The Powell Goldstein Sustainability Practice works with clients on diverse issues that often lead to changes in production and consumption -- sustaining business while protecting natural resources. The practice will work in tandem with the firm's Climate Strategies & Insights practice to advise businesses on a number of key issues, including carbon trading and credits and related financing, energy tax credits, environmental policy and legislation, international negotiations post-Kyoto, zoning, sustainable building (e.g., LEED) certifications and requirements, and related matters.
