Environmental

No matter your industry, we can be your trusted advisor on environmental law, regulation, and practice. Our team combines technical expertise, regulatory experience, entrepreneurial thinking, and regional insight to help you manage environmental risks and ensure smooth transactions.

With growing environmental concerns, regulatory demands are expanding at both domestic and European levels. Our clients rely on us to stay updated on all developments. Environmental compliance issues can impact processes and products across industries, and staying compliant is crucial, especially due to the significant impact of liability issues on business transactions.

We regularly advise industrial clients on SEAs and EIAs, including pollution permits, special protection zones, and remediation of polluted areas for further development.
