U.S. National Whitewater Center in Charlotte, NC
Who Should Attend
Attorneys, real estate developers, corporate managers, environmental and sustainability professionals, consultants and lenders
Why Attend
Real estate developers in certain parts of the country are being required to estimate the greenhouse gas emission impact of their proposed developments. Tenants are beginning to demand green office spaces. Builders are advertising the green attributes of their homes. Land values are being impacted by the fuel costs of commuting from distant suburbs to work centers. Major and boutique banks are greening themselves and offering financial products to incent green development.
Law firms have not been oblivious to these trends. Many national firms have launched climate change practices, and many boutiques and sub-practices have focused on sustainable development or green real estate.
Is "green law" the latest marketing hype or is there any substance to this emerging field? What are the implications for developers, lenders and other business interests?
We have assembled a diverse set of experts from architecture, finance, development, law and business to discuss the current realities and pending regulations. This conference discuss the new and unique legal issues of sustainable development, green leasing and financing and the coming carbon markets.
