Baker McKenzie was the first global law firm to establish a Climate Change practice. Our leading climate change team helps clients navigate the associated risks and opportunities as governments and industries intensify efforts to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and reduce carbon footprints under the Paris Agreement and other global regulatory regimes and voluntary frameworks. Our experts collaborate with governments on carbon emission reduction laws, with industries on guiding climate strategies and net zero commitments and represent all stakeholders in climate projects and carbon transactions.
With over 300 lawyers worldwide, our Environment and Climate Change Group offers unparalleled global coverage and expertise. We bring decades of experience in regulatory counsel, enforcement defense, and litigation support, addressing a wide range of environmental, climate change, and sustainability compliance and liability issues.
