DESCRIPTION

 
Curious about legal careers beyond traditional corporate or litigation paths? Join Stephanie McFall and Scott Zimmermann of Wilson Sonsini for an inside look at Energy & Climate Solutions law—an exciting, fast-growing practice area shaping how the world produces and uses energy. Designed especially for law students, this program explores how lawyers support clean energy innovation, climate-focused technologies, and major infrastructure projects, while building meaningful, impactful careers. You’ll also hear candid career stories and practical advice on how students can position themselves for work in this space.

In this program, you’ll explore:

  • What “Energy & Climate Solutions” law actually looks like in practice
  • How transactional, regulatory, and policy work come together in one industry-focused group
  • The types of clients lawyers advise—from startups to global technology companies
  • How clean energy, climate tech, and infrastructure projects are financed and developed
  • Career pathways from law school into specialized, industry-driven practices
  • How personal interests (like climate or sustainability) can shape a legal career
