Critical Minerals

Developing strategies for securing federal support in the critical minerals space

Critical minerals are the backbone of the global energy transition and advanced technologies, underpinning national security and safeguarding the resilience of international supply chains.

Brownstein brings deep expertise in the critical minerals space and extensive experience engaging with key agencies—including the National Energy Dominance Council, the National Security Council, the Departments of Commerce, War, Interior and Energy, as well as the DFC and EXIM—that are central to the administration’s financing strategy.

We work closely with private industry, investors, and foreign governments to strengthen supply chain security, navigate U.S. financing tools and identify opportunities for public-private partnerships. Our team excels at connecting industry leaders, U.S. businesses and foreign entities with government counterparts to address global investment strategies and other top issues impacting clients. We are prepared to assist clients in assessing project eligibility, coordinating with relevant agencies and developing strategies to secure federal support in a rapidly evolving investment environment.
