Partner Profile Stoel Rives is a full service law firm with offices in 7 states including Oregon, Washington, California, Utah, Idaho, Minnesota and Colorado. The firm is a national leader in the practice of renewable energy law. We permitted the eighth largest wind energy site of single ownership in North America and by 2007, we provided legal counsel on various aspects of approximately 40 percent of the installed capacity of U.S. wind power. Stoel Rives also has a thriving practice in geothermal, solar, and ocean energy as well as biofuels. Stoel Rives was one of the first law firms to purchase renewable energy certificates as an expression of support to its many renewable energy clients. In 2007, the firm adopted a sustainability policy that commits the entire firm to reducing its environmental impact through energy conservation, support for renewable production, waste reduction, incentives for mass transit, and selection of environmentally friendly vendors and products. "Stoel Rives' purchase of green power is just one of our sustainable business practices. Our Go Green campaign is a comprehensive strategy to promote energy conservation and reduce consumption of resources," said Managing Partner Robert D. Van Brocklin.
