ENVIRONMENT & NATURAL RESOURCES

Right now, responsible business practices like sustainable development are talked about very often. However, that involves the management and protection of the environment as well as natural resources. It requires time, energy and know-how.

Our team of legal professionals is well-equipped to guide clients through the intricate regulatory landscape and provide tailored solutions to meet their specific needs for environmental and related projects.

Compliance with Environmental Regulations

Businesses of today must navigate a complex web of applicable environmental regulations and standards. That can take a toll, so hiring professional environmental attorneys may be the most effective solution. We help with:

  • Environmental permitting and licensing;
  • Environmental impact assessments;
  • Waste management and disposal;
  • Greenhouse gas emissions and climate change regulations;
  • Environmental due diligence in mergers and acquisitions.

Sustainable Use of Natural Resources

Mining, forestry, oil refining, and agriculture are just a few of the many industries facing increased scrutiny from regulators on responsible and sustainable use of natural resources. Our attorneys can provide legal support on matters related to:

  • Land use and zoning;
  • Water rights and management;
  • Extraction and use of minerals and other natural resources;
  • Forest management and biodiversity conservation;
  • Renewable energy development.

Environmental Dispute Resolution and Litigation

If the need arises, we can represent you in litigation, negotiations, mediation, and arbitration processes. We represent clients in:

  • Environmental enforcement actions;
  • Land contamination and pollution disputes;
  • Natural resource damage claims;
  • Environmental torts and liability.

Supporting Environmental Innovation and Growth

Innovation and growth in environmentally sustainable industries are essential for meeting domestic, regional, and/or global environmental challenges.

We are always trying to utilise proactivity in our legal practice. By preventing issues from becoming too grand to cover, we can help mitigate risk and prevent costly legal disputes in many cases. Contact us and get to know more!
