Environmental law requirements play a substantial role in planning and permitting procedures of public infrastructure and public services, such as public transport, roads and railways, energy and water supply or waste disposal facilities. Such infrastructures regularly have significant environmental impacts – not only during construction and operation, but also in the phase of decommissioning and aftercare, such as in the case of landfills and mining areas.
Do you need:
- Legal advice on the planning and implementation of permit procedures for an urban development project?
- To clarify potential liabilities related to the remediation of your business premises?
- Assistance with the purchase of an industrial area?
- Legal representation in administrative proceedings before the administrative, civil or criminal courts?
- Legal advice or representation regarding an expropriation?
