Lawyers for environmental law

The work of our lawyers for environmental law focuses on assessing complex approval and planning permission procedures, development projects and transactions from an environmental law perspective and helping to bring them to a successful conclusion. 

We advise companies on all environmental law issues arising in the context of ongoing operation of industrial plants, power lines and mines. Our environmental lawyers are particularly well versed in environmental impact assessments and are very familiar with the strict requirements under legislation on the protection of nature and wildlife, water law and emission control.

Our lawyers for environmental law combine in-depth specialist knowledge and the necessary commercial understanding with many years of engaging with public bodies and the courts. Where appropriate, they liaise with specialists from other professions, such as environmental experts, engineers, planners and developers.
