San Francisco-based Cleantech Law Partners and CleanTechies announced today a new online service that addresses some of the most pressing legal and policy issues cleantech and renewable energy professionals are facing.

Cleantech Law Partners' attorneys review the questions and provide their answers online. Users can provide additional feedback by commenting on the discussion and sharing their own experiences.
