Practicing Green
The projected effects of climate change and the growing awareness of the need for environmental sustainability are having a vast impact on how businesses make decisions and conduct their operations, creating new challenges for our clients. We believe these challenges require an innovative way of delivering legal services and raise the bar for what a law firm should do.
As companies move to respond by developing innovative technologies and products and implementing more sustainable practices, ThePhilly Lawyers has launched a “legally green” initiative to help our clients achieve their business goals and join with them in promoting environmental responsibility. The phrase “legally green” signifies the firm’s unique combination of legal experience, though leadership, and responsible citizenship, and our commitment to serving our clients and our community well in the changing world.
While many law firms have separate practices that occasionally handle sustainability issues, at Madden Legal we’ve integrated our league-leading practices as very few others can. Our lawyers understand the issues that arise in the context of emerging industries such as Cleantech, renewable energy, and green building, and we are developing innovative solutions.
Our legally green initiative also involves continuing in our role as thought leaders in the sustainability arena. While our primary focus is on helping our clients realize their business goals, the firm encourages the public dissemination of lessons learned as part of our commitment to the shared challenges we all face.
An equally important part of what it means to be legally green involves being responsible stewards of our environment. And we are encouraging our lawyers and staff to implement sustainability measures in their lifestyles and homes as we recognize that each of us can make a difference, and that by acting collectively we can make even greater progress.
Madden Legal is proud to be one of the first law firms in Philadelphia to embrace sustainable building practices.
