Many of our lawyers have specific industry knowledge and business experience, having been trained in various technology-related and scientific disciplines. Working in multidisciplinary teams, we tap the experience of attorneys from the firm’s corporate, securities, tax, intellectual property, labor and employment, employee benefits and litigation departments.
Bracewell's environmental lawyers advise clients developing state-of-the art systems to produce power from wind, biofuels and other new sources of energy. Our clients are deeply involved in management of carbon-producing processes and in the development of technologies and techniques to control greenhouse gas emissions.
