About

Provided by Cescon, Barrieu, Flesch & Barreto Advogados

Our environmental practice works with the awareness that the topic plays a crucial role in connecting our clients with natural resources, the climate, sensitive communities, and the general goods of humanity. We use our knowledge and experience to ensure and strengthen this essential connection. We advise clients from various sectors, such as oil and gas, mining, energy, electronics, agribusiness, biofuels, ports, construction companies, and developers, in the defense of their interests in judicial litigation, administrative environmental matters, and all environmental and urban planning demands, with particular focus on complex environmental litigation and project licensing in sensitive areas, where reputational issues often outweigh direct financial exposure.

We have one of the most robust environmental due diligence practices in Brazil, conducting processes for M&A, financing, and capital markets. Our team is deeply involved in negotiating transactional documents, offering accurate assessments and recommending measures to mitigate risks, with an economic, social, and environmental focus.
