Green Building and Sustainable Design
Shulman Rogers attorneys are attuned to the latest developments in sustainable design and green building laws and standards. As the federal government, states and municipalities continue to enact green building laws and provide tax and other incentives for green construction, our attorneys can advise which green building laws might apply to your project, and provide assistance navigating the process for obtaining LEED or Green Globes Certification. We are equipped to provide advice on green building and ENERGY STAR™ requirements for new commercial and residential buildings, as well as retrofits and renovation, and we can advise on best practices to comply with the International Code Council’s ANSI-approved National Green Building Standard. Our attorneys can assist clients to identify, manage, and avoid risks inherent in green building, particularly those risks arising in contract negotiation, drafting and performance. Advising clients on the benefits and impacts of green development that increase each project’s efficiency and marketability is just one of the services we provide in today’s green market. Let Shulman Rogers help you reap the benefits of our increasingly green society.
