Green/LEED Real Estate Law

Concerned about Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification liability or green leasing issues? Are you financing a green real estate project? Warner Norcross & Judd's Green/LEED Real Estate group is ready to help with your green building issues.

Warner's multidisciplinary team of attorneys has expertise in environmental, energy, litigation, real estate, construction and economic incentive issues. We are one of the first law firms in Michigan to have a LEED-accredited real estate attorney. Because of the large number of LEED-certified buildings in our home office city of Grand Rapids, Warner has extensive experience in this area. On a per capita basis, Grand Rapids has more LEED-certified buildings than any other U.S. city.

There are numerous financial incentives available for green/LEED construction or renovation. Warner attorneys were instrumental in drafting legislation that will provide financial incentives for green construction in Michigan. Our economic incentives attorneys can help you find and obtain financial incentives for your project.

With growing interest and increasing regulation comes a responsibility to fulfill green building promises, including obtaining certain levels of LEED or other certification, efficiency measures and cost savings. Warner's attorneys can assist you with the structure, negotiation, drafting and enforcement of contracts pertaining to development, design, leasing and construction of green buildings. We’ll help you identify, define and assign responsibility and liability for these issues. In the event of contractual disputes, Warner's litigators are prepared to advocate on your behalf.
