Responsible Citizenship

Our success in securing LEED certification for our San Francisco office is an example of our support for sustainable building practices and a healthy work environment. The office has been certified by the United States Green Building Council under the program for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), making Nixon Peabody the first law firm in the U.S. to be LEED-certified in the category of “Commercial Interiors.” The category includes all preexisting office buildings and commercial space.

Our Albany, New York, office also earned LEED Silver certification in April 2009, and our renovation in New York City was certified as LEED Silver in September 2009. Recently, our Chicago office moved into new space for which we are seeking LEED certification with the US Green Building Council.

Across the country we are putting sustainability plans into action with small and large steps—from improving our recycling practices to reduce paper use to greening our supply chain.

Nixon Peabody has coined the phrase “legally green” to denote the firm’s unique combination of legal experience, thought leadership, responsible citizenship, and commitment to serving our clients and our community well in today’s increasingly environmentally- and sustainability-conscious society and economy. Legally Green® is more than a slogan—it is an increasing element of our culture here at Nixon Peabody, and it reflects our commitment to the kinds of sustainable principles our clients are adopting and implementing.
