Environmental law

Our experienced planning and environmental lawyers provide project-specific advice on all aspects of environmental law, including planning, procurement, environmental impact assessments, regulatory compliance, and environmental considerations in business and financial transactions. In addition, we regularly advise on matters related to renewable energy, nature conservation, and environmental investments.

Whether the client is a landowner or a developer, we guide them through the complex planning process, ensure compliance with all environmental laws, assess their risk profile in transactions, and, where necessary, provide support in all environmental legal disputes. We have assisted with numerous high-profile projects, including major environmental remediation works, urban and landscape planning, road construction, and expropriation proceedings.

In addition, we have contributed to the development of legislation, policies, and practices in the real estate and planning sector, providing us with a broader view of the commercial landscape. This allows us to provide clients with the informed legal advice they need, regardless of a project’s nature or location.
