Grant Thornton and law firm Mills & Reeve have formed a partnership with Carbon Trust, an independent company set up by the government to reduce climate change caused by carbon emissions, to work on the trust’s ‘incubation scheme’.
The scheme aims to provide investment opportunities in technology start-up companies developing low-carbon technologies, according to The Lawyer.com.
Companies accepted for incubation will receive up to £60,000 of financial support from the Carbon Trust over a 12 to18 month period while Mills & Reeve will provide all the legal advice.
Grant Thornton will contribute to the trust by advising on company and commercial matters, as well as patents, intellectual property (IP) and licensing work.
