Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman

Sustainable development goals and financial investments encompassing environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria are ushering the coordination of our efforts to address the growing demand from our clients on improving sustainability to drive financial value. We also leverage our legal experience and solutions to help our clients accelerate climate transition and advance ESG and sustainability growth to have a positive impact on our world.

We are devoted to helping our clients around the world find cost-effective solutions involving sustainable finance as they contemplate lending, business and investment decisions.

Our global team of multidisciplinary sustainable finance attorneys work seamlessly with members of our renewable energy, private equity, trade, regulatory, litigation, environmental, tax, investment funds, capital markets and intellectual property practices to provide clients with comprehensive guidance on a full spectrum of sustainable finance matters. We pride ourselves on developing innovative solutions and can advise on unique strategies gaining traction globally, such as sustainability-linked debt products, ESG, sustainable buildings, carbon credits and impact investing structures. These types of arrangements have been driving new capital investments into the market to support the cost of sustainable economic recovery, which the International Energy Agency currently projects to be $1 trillion a year in the next three years globally. Not only is the demand great in the UK, big investment houses in the U.S. are jumping on board, and the pandemic is spurring on the trend.
