Environmental
Concern for the environment has significantly increased in recent decades, leading to the creation of numerous laws and regulations governing human interactions with nature and the use of natural resources. In this context, demonstrating the adoption of business practices that positively impact the environment has become increasingly expected by investors, consumers, and the market.
With over 25 years of experience in corporate law, our firm has a team skilled in identifying and managing environmental risks, determining applicable obligations, conducting preventive and corrective legal audits, adjusting facilities, and adopting environmental management practices. We assist in complying with legal requirements related to environmental licensing for potentially polluting activities, evaluating the compliance of rural properties, and other environmental law matters.
Our practice covers:
We work proactively to mitigate risks from environmental liability (administrative, civil, and criminal) and the company’s image exposure, including that of its leaders and shareholders. We support our clients in defining best practices to generate a positive impact on society and the environment, achieving sustainability goals, and strengthening the “E” pillar of ESG.
We handle judicial and extrajudicial processes involving complex environmental issues. Our expertise enables a deep understanding of jurisprudence in complex cases. We negotiate with environmental organizations and public agencies to resolve conflicts.
We assist companies in all matters involving forest assets. This includes assessing and regularizing forest liabilities in rural and urban areas, identifying risks and opportunities related to regulations on traditional knowledge access, and managing the access and transfer of genetic resources. With experienced and solid multidisciplinary practice, we guide clients on green and sustainable investments.
