Verdant distinguishes itself from other environmental law firms by providing an array of sustainability-related legal services, and by its dedication to delivering value in the provision of all of its services.

Verdant’s Expertise

Verdant’s principal practice areas include Green Chemistry and Chemicals Management, Right-to-Know, Nanotechnology, Energy Efficiency and Climate, Ecosystem Services – Air/Water, and Green Marketing and Procurement. Within each area, the Firm provides more “traditional” environmental, health, and safety-related legal services in addition to its sustainability-related offerings. The Firm has a broad range of capabilities, such as litigation, compliance counseling, due diligence, and enforcement defense.

The Firm’s practice emphasizes those areas of environmental law concerning the regulation of industrial, commercial, and consumer products or the manufacturing, transportation, storage and use of those products. The law in each of these areas is dynamic and frequently challenges company strategy and operations. With the growing societal focus on sustainability, these challenges will only increase. Verdant’s expertise enables it to provide the legal insight and advice necessary to understand the possibilities, as well as manage the risks, that a changing legal environment presents.

Verdant’s Commitment to Delivering Value

Verdant has a strong commitment to delivering value in the provision of legal services. The Firm works with its clients to learn their business and strategic objectives and applies that knowledge to their matters so that the clients receive timely, practical, and actionable advice. Verdant seeks to identify and implement meaningful cost-saving measures and opportunities to pass those savings on to clients. To provide clients with greater certainty and predictability with their legal expenditures, the Firm offers value-based, alternative fee structures. At Verdant, the primary goal is the development of long-term relationships built on trust, earned by delivering value.
