As businesses around the world embrace the challenges associated with climate change and the production of clean and efficient energy, Kilpatrick Townsend has turned its attention to the creation of an interdisciplinary team that provides advice with regard to clean technology.  We advise new and emerging businesses that have been launched with the mission of bringing green, clean and sustainable products and services to market, as well as established businesses and research institutions adapting their processes to meet with new regulations and business imperatives. 

Kilpatrick Townsend’s Clean Technology team is structured to meet every challenge faced by our clients focused on climate change and energy-related innovations. Because the underlying technologies applied to green technology problems encompass so many different disciplines, our Clean Technology team is comprised of members with a broad range of technical experience, chemistry, biology, electronics, mechanics, and software for controlling manufacturing processes and remediation of waste. 

Kilpatrick Townsend’s experience extends beyond the protection of  intellectual property to the evolution of markets for the purchase and sale of carbon credits, including carbon offsets generated by activities such as reforestation that capture carbon from the atmosphere. We are advising clients on climate change regulatory considerations and their potential impact on business activities. We are also providing corporate, securities, tax, and other types of business counsel to clients doing business in the carbon marketplace.

As these markets evolve, issues of valuation of processes for remediation and clean energy production and the  intellectual property underlying those processes will inevitably arise. Kilpatrick Townsend’s understanding of the technology associated with green, clean and sustainable processes and technologies gives us a unique insight and credibility in establishing realistic and reliable assessments of value.
