www.thompsonhine.com - In an effort to address the novel and complex challenges companies face related to climate change and sustainability, Thompson Hine LLP has established a Climate Change and Sustainable Business Solutions group. The group consists of lawyers with extensive experience in a number of areas, including environmental, energy, transportation, finance, intellectual property, trade, real estate, construction and corporate law.

The group has advised clients in a variety of sectors, including electric utilities, independent power producers, manufacturers, municipalities, and colleges and universities, among others. Lawyers in the group recognize the dramatic impact that global climate change, evolving energy markets and concepts of sustainable business practices are having on governments, markets and businesses across all industries.

Andrew Kolesar, co-leader of the group, comments, "Climate change is rapidly emerging as an important and complex policy area. It affects a wide array of business and public sectors and thus necessitates a multidisciplinary approach. Members of our group are ready to assist clients on sustainable development, clean technology, greenhouse gas emissions, energy management and other related areas." Co-leader Steve Axtell adds, "The worldwide attention to this issue and current and expected legislation will have far-reaching effects on many companies. Our climate change team will help our clients stay abreast of new developments and opportunities."
