About Stoel Rives LLP

STOEL RIVES has been a pioneer among U.S. law firms serving the renewable energy industry.  From our early involvement and support of organizations such as the American Council for Renewable Energy, American Wind Energy Association and Renewable Northwest Project, to our active presence as speakers at industry conferences, to our purchase of green tags to offset the emissions from our offices, and our recent announcement of plans to relocate our Portland, Oregon office to a new LEED Platinum building, we have demonstrated a deep corporate and professional commitment to renewable energy.
