Environment

LAWIN environmental lawyers are committed to assisting our clients with the challenges posed by ever stricter national, EU and international environmental regulation.

We work with our clients to identify, manage and mitigate environmental risks, which may hamper the success of a project. We regularly work in cooperation with decision makers in industry and government at local, national and regional levels, as well as with highly regarded environmental consultants in our markets.

We advise clients on the resolution of complex environmental liability, compliance and permitting issues; on identification and quantification of environmental risks through due diligence; and the drafting and negotiation of contract language for environmental risk allocation. In addition, we have represented clients in addressing a breadth of environmental concerns, such as contaminated real property, emissions, asbestos, off-site waste disposal, air emissions credit trading, and legal liability and other environmental insurance coverage.

The team brings real estate expertise, technical understanding and commercial thinking to this complex and rapidly changing area of law. Our lawyers have extensive experience in all aspects of legal and strategic advice in obtaining pollution permits, the preparation of environmental impact assessment reports and similar documents, including assistance to clients in obtaining opinions of state authorities and appeals, if necessary.
