THE ENVIRONMENT

Environmental law has undergone profound change and development over the last twenty years. The creation of a sustainable environment is today an ongoing strategic challenge demanding appropriate responses.

The environmental law team is made up of experienced lawyers specialised in the environmental impact of the various branches of law relevant to this area, namely, public law, European Union law, tax law and regulatory and criminal law.

The services we provide our clients include environmental advice in the broad sense (environment audits, environmental compliance, environmental impact assessments, environmental licences, industrial licences, trading of greenhouse gas emission permits, air, water, waste, noise, etc.) as well as assistance in pre-contentious and contentious environmental matters (class actions, regulatory proceedings and administrative, civil and criminal liability).

The team’s lawyers advise industries in various sectors as well as concessionaires, financial establishments and public authorities.
