Environmental regulatory advice and dispute resolution for major investments and business activities.
CAC advises investors, project companies and businesses on environmental law and regulatory matters, with particular experience in the energy, mining, infrastructure and industrial sectors. Our practice covers the environmental aspects of projects from the development and permitting stages through operation, expansion and closure, combining sector-specific knowledge with CAC’s broader expertise in public law and dispute resolution.
We advise clients on Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) processes, environmental permits and approvals, regulatory compliance and relations with environmental and other public authorities. Our experience includes advising on the environmental aspects of project development, changes and expansions, as well as representing clients in administrative proceedings concerning environmental permits, regulatory measures and sanctions.
Our environmental law practice also encompasses matters involving protected areas, forestry, land use, zoning, coastal areas, agricultural land and soil conservation where these intersect with investment projects. We assist clients in navigating overlapping regulatory regimes and obtaining the permits and approvals required for the development and continued operation of their investments.
CAC has particular experience in environmental matters affecting energy and natural resources projects. We advise and represent mining, energy and industrial companies in matters involving EIA decisions, environmental and forestry permits, protected areas and administrative sanctions, including disputes that may directly affect the development or continuation of major investments.
Where environmental decisions or regulatory measures give rise to disputes, we represent clients before administrative authorities and courts and advise on the potential consequences for ongoing projects and contractual relationships. By combining our environmental, public law and sector-specific expertise, we are able to address both the regulatory and contentious aspects of complex environmental matters.
