About

Provided by Lobo de Rizzo Advogados

We act as strategic partners, advising clients on a wide range of environmental issues under Brazil’s constantly evolving legislation. Our team is known for its meticulous project structuring and in-depth assessments of environmental risks and impacts across various industrial sectors.

A key strength is our robust environmental litigation practice. We represent clients in high-stakes disputes, including Civil Class Actions, Popular Actions, Civil Inquiries, and administrative proceedings before environmental agencies. This detail-oriented approach sets us apart in greenfield project evaluation and brownfield (contaminated area) management.

Specialized Team

Our team includes professionals with dual academic backgrounds, combining legal expertise with scientific training. Amália S. Botter Fabbri holds degrees in Law and Geography, Joana Cristina Bernardini is trained in Law and Biology, and Alysson Henrique do Nascimento is pursuing a master’s in Sustainability at the University of São Paulo (USP).

Comprehensive Environmental Services

Unlike many firms where environmental litigation is handled by generalists, ours is led by specialists. We offer full-spectrum support, from advisory and compliance to litigation, ensuring strategic and technically informed solutions.

High-Profile Case Experience

As part of a full-service firm, we manage complex, high-impact cases across sectors, with a strong record in multidisciplinary and strategic environmental matters.
