Seyfarth Shaw Mentioned in New York Law Journal
"Law Firms Join Network to Explore New Ways to Make Practice 'Green'"

Seyfarth Shaw was mentioned in the New York Law Journal on February 6 as being one among nearly 40 law firm members of the recently formed Law Firm Sustainability Network, a group dedicated to developing "green" law offices.

New York environmental consulting firm catering to the legal industry, ecoAnalyze, launched the network in August of 2011 with 18 firms, including Seyfarth Shaw.

The purpose of the group is to get law firms communicating with one another during monthly conference calls in order to share ideas about the best sustainability practices. Each month, members study a sustainable project that one of the firms has implemented, and they speak freely about how to cut power consumption, diminish a firm's carbon footprint and involve staff with green initiatives--and how they did or didn't work.

According to the article, law firm focus on sustainability is not only being driven by a desire to be more environmentally friendly and efficient, but also by outside sources, and it behooves them to show an alignment of values while contributing to sustainability, benefitting the business in many ways.
