Chadbourne & Parke's central involvement in the nascent coal-to-liquids industry, together with our strong historic association with the synthetic fuels industry, make Chadbourne well-suited to represent you in connection with coal-to-liquids development and financings. Given the early stages of existing coal-to-liquids project development, it would be difficult to categorize many attorneys as “expert” in the industry. Chadbourne’s project lawyers, however, have been active in the synthetic fuel industry since the early 1990s and are involved with most of the coal-to-liquids facilities currently under development in the U.S. in some manner. As evidenced by our current representation of Baard Energy, Rentech , Morgan Stanley and others, Chadbourne has quickly gained a strong knowledge base in the coal-to-liquids industry and has emerged as a lead advisor in this market area. .
