We are convinced that the development of projects for the exploitation of natural resources require specialized counsel in order to minimize any negative impacts and enhance their positive externalities. For this reason, we become deeply involved in these projects, allowing us to manage all variables and thus adequately assess the socio-environmental feasibility of the same in their various stages, zealously safeguarding the projects’ relations with the communities and a fluid and transparent dialogue with the relevant authorities.

In this regard, we assist in the development of projects since their inception, defining strategies and standards which will enable their proper execution, actively supporting our clients not only in the creation, execution and conclusion of their projects, but also in the preparation of environmental impact statements and studies, project pertinence consultations and sector-specific permits, and in the administrative and judicial defense of our clients’ interests, before the Environmental Administration, Environmental Courts, Courts of Appeals and the Supreme Court, and in sanctioning procedures and requests for the submission of environmental impact evaluations conducted by the Superintendence of the Environment.

In addition, in this field, we are frequently engaged to prepare memorandums and legal opinions concerning complex environmental regulation matters, and we have also participated in advising relevant stakeholders during the discussion and enactment process for quality standards and plans for environmental prevention and decontamination.
