AREAS OF PRACTICE
- Capital Formation: We have extensive relationships with firms, funds, individuals and companies interested in deploying capital in the clean tech marketplace. We help capital-seeking clean tech companies connect with interested capital providers and help them present the strongest possible case for their business.
- Deal Development: Through our corporate consulting work, our active involvement in clean tech business associations, our frequent speaking engagements, our participation in high-level policy development forums, and because we are nationally-known experts in the clean technology and clean energy space, we offer constant and valuable introductions to potential clean tech investment opportunities.
- Deal Evaluation: Evaluating businesses and transactions in the clean energy and energy technology space can be difficult. Fuel and other commodity price volatility as well as extensive and constantly changing regulatory and other governmental policy frameworks make sophisticated due diligence critical. Our long experience in the sector and our unique insights in policymaking processes allows us to "see around the corner", helping investors and buyers evaluate the full potential risks and rewards of a proposed transaction.
The best and most successful companies recognize that a clean and healthy environment and strong, sustainable economic growth go hand in hand. This nexus is where we believe the 21st Century economy will flourish, and we help energy and environmental technology companies understand and exploit these opportunities with assistance in project and market development, brand enhancement, CSR strategy, capital formation, and strategic networking.
Government Relations
With extensive knowledge and relationships in Washington and the states, as well as with key multilateral bodies, industry and non-governmental organizations, we help clients assess and anticipate public policy issues that can impact their business, positively or negatively. We bring "bottom line" value by assisting in the development and execution of strategies to position clients for success in the public policy arena and helping them communicate their views to key policymakers.
