Sidley is pleased to announce that it has been shortlisted for the “Innovation in Sustainability and ESG” award at the 2021 Financial Times Innovative Lawyers North America Awards. The firm made the list for its representation of United Airlines, American Airlines, and others in the aviation industry's effort to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. The annual awards, hosted by the Financial Times and its research partner, RSG Consulting, highlight the best law firms and in‐house legal teams driving innovation in the legal sector in the North America region.
Led by Kevin Lewis, co-leader of Sidley’s Aviation and Airlines group, Sidley helped its aviation clients with three coordinated aspects of moving towards a greener future: establishing and communicating a carbon-zero goal; developing and acquiring air transportation vehicles necessary to meet the goal; and developing and acquiring the fuel necessary to power those vehicles. The Sidley team also included lawyers Bart Biggers, Sandi Knox, Heather Palmer, Atman Shukla, Paul McBride, and other members of the firm’s Aviation and Airlines, and its Environmental, and Energy groups.
Sidley is a go-to law firm of choice for clients pursuing innovative approaches to their sustainability and ESG goals. The firm’s broad experience as the destination firm for passenger airlines, in particular, is evidenced by the participation of its Aviation, Environmental, Renewable Energy, ESG, M&A, Emerging Companies and Venture Capital, SEC, FTC, and Litigation groups, in these matters.
