Climate Week NYC is here! As global leaders, innovators and advocates gather to tackle the climate crisis, we’re proud to highlight the role that SPR plays in helping our clients advance clean energy and climate resilience across New York and beyond.
SPR is advising government agencies on the environmental impact review and permitting of several large-scale resiliency projects throughout Lower Manhattan, designed to strengthen New York City’s defenses against storm surges, sea level rise, and other climate-driven threats.
SPR represents the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) in the legal defense of New York City’s congestion pricing program, which aims to reduce traffic and greenhouse gas emissions.
SPR serves clients across the renewable energy sector, assisting with the development and financing of solar, offshore wind, battery storage, and EV charging projects. The firm supports projects from site acquisition and permitting through project finance and tax credit monetization, with deep experience in complex debt structures and regulatory incentives under the Inflation Reduction Act.
SPR attorneys help clients integrate climate risk, decarbonization, resiliency considerations—and related costs and liabilities—throughout the lifecycle of their real estate projects. SPR provides actionable, strategic advice on waterfront permitting and development, stormwater and flood risk management, and compliance with NYC’s Local Law 97 and other building sustainability planning, such as green leasing.
