Lindsay Hall

Lindsay is a senior associate in the Washington, DC office of Vinson & Elkins and a member of the firm’s Environmental & Natural Resources practice.

In addition, Lindsay is routinely involved in the permitting of, and defending challenges to, infrastructure and energy development projects.

She also has experience advising clients engaged in low-carbon ventures, including permitting issues 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.
