Thompson Hine establishes Climate Change and Sustainable Business Solutions group

Business law firm Thompson Hine has established a Climate Change and Sustainable Business Solutions group to help companies cope with the challenges faced when tackling environmental issues.

Steve Axtell, co-leader of the group, tells BusinessWire that the team is staying on top of current and expected legislation, and stands ready to help its clients stay abreast of new developments and opportunities.

Because climate change is such a complex policy area, the group is made up of people from a variety of legal disciplines, including environmental, energy, transportation, finance, intellectual property, trade, real estate, construction, and corporate law.

The group already has begun advising power producers, manufacturers, municipalities, colleges and universities.
