Baker Botts’ Climate Change practice delivers a global, multidisciplinary approach to addressing the complex legal challenges posed by climate change. The team brings together lawyers from corporate, environmental, international tax, and project finance disciplines across U.S. and international offices, enabling the firm to handle climate‑related matters of significant scope and complexity.
The practice advises on a wide range of climate issues, including defending climate‑related litigation, structuring international carbon investment funds, and developing Clean Development Mechanism projects. Baker Botts also counsels clients on emissions trading and compliance regimes, such as the European Emissions Trading System and Joint Implementation programs, and assists U.S. companies with advocacy, compliance, and litigation strategies related to carbon regulation.
In addition, the firm has deep experience with carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), including pioneering legal frameworks for pore space ownership, serving as an expert peer reviewer for CCS methodologies, and supporting the permitting and development of early carbon capture facilities.
