The LEED Green Building certification has become the recognized standard for measuring building sustainability. Several of our attorneys and consultants have either earned LEED A.P. accreditation or counseled clients in LEED projects, which uniquely qualifies them to advise clients in the construction industry as well as in commercial real estate development and leasing as to the LEED certification process and requirements.
Our LEED AP building industry professionals are involved in the planning, design and development of sustainable buildings, and counsel clients in green building and the LEED Green Building Rating System. They can help clients assess the new mandatory and incentive-based regulatory requirements, and navigate and facilitate the LEED Certification process for their projects. Among the clients we routinely advise are developers, lenders, builders, suppliers, retailers, engineers and architects.
