Lindsay Hall

Lindsay is counsel in the Washington, DC office of Vinson & Elkins and a member of the firm’s Environmental & Natural Resources practice. She advises clients on a wide range of environmental and regulatory matters at issue in project development, mergers and acquisitions, project financings and real estate development. In addition, Lindsay is routinely involved in the permitting of, and defending challenges to, infrastructure and energy development projects.

Lindsay has assisted clients with successfully navigating the energy transition, including sustainable financing requirements, such as the Equator Principles, and compliance with voluntary climate disclosure frameworks, such as the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). She also has experience advising clients engaged in low-carbon ventures, including navigating the structuring of carbon credits, emissions accounting, and permitting issues, specifically in connection with carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) projects.

Lindsay is also a member of the V&E ESG Taskforce, and counsels clients on environmental policies and practices, corporate governance, and climate change risk management. She works with other members of the ESG Taskforce to develop creative solutions for clients navigating these and other non-financial risks and opportunities.
