In our continuing effort to highlight law firms that are taking initiatives to operate in a more environmentally friendly way, we come across a law firm in California doing something remarkable. Cooley, Godward, Kronish LLP, with offices located in Palo Alto, has just finished installation of an 87 kW solar system on its rooftop.

Cooley, Godward, Kronish LLP has 650 attorneys in offices located across the country. This move is one of many that the firm is taking to reduce their energy consumption costs and give back to the environment. With this solar panel installation alone, the firm will be saving the energy equivalent of driving five million miles in an average-sized car.

More firms around the country are starting to see the benefits of green initiatives. Though the initial cost may throw off some, the long term benefits are too great to ignore. Cooley, Godward, Kronish LLP is taking strides toward becoming a more productive firm, and we commend them for that.

Know of, or work in a law firm that is taking similar initiatives in their day to day practice?  We would love to hear about them. Leave your comments here or email me at zach@lawline.com.
