Clean technology lives at the intersection of hard engineering and complicated deals, and you want counsel who is fluent in both. Our attorneys have technical backgrounds, so we can engage with the substance of your renewable energy, storage, or carbon-reduction technology and then translate it into IP protection and transaction terms that hold. We support clean tech companies from the first invention disclosure through financing and deployment.
Patents and Process Protection
Clean energy advances often live in manufacturing know-how as much as in the device itself. We build patent strategies for your renewable energy, storage, and efficiency inventions, and decide alongside you what to patent versus protect as a trade secret, especially for proprietary production processes that are hard to reverse-engineer. We advise on technology licensing arrangements, run IP due diligence for acquisitions, and represent you when clean tech patents end up in dispute.
Project Development and Finance
Renewable projects rise or fall on how carefully they are structured. We advise on project finance arrangements, negotiate power purchase agreements that anchor a project's revenue, and structure the tax equity that often makes the economics work. We draft the development agreements and the construction and EPC contracts that govern how a project gets built, allocating risk among developers, financiers, and contractors before ground is broken.
Technology Licensing and Deals
Scaling a clean technology usually means licensing it, partnering on it, or selling it, and each path carries its own traps. We structure licensing and technology transfer arrangements that protect your underlying IP while letting partners commercialize at scale. When you raise capital or pursue an acquisition, we handle the diligence and deal terms so investors understand what they are buying and your innovations stay clearly owned and protected throughout.
