About

Provided by Machado Meyer

We participate in the structuring of projects involving the potential of causing pollution or environmental impact. We provide legal advice to clients from the time of the legal audit during the project implementation and environmental licensing process all the way to the actual operation of the project. Our practice confirms that specialized legal advice starting with the planning phase avoids risks of future issues involving the approval of the project and consequent delays in its completion.


In addition to providing legal certainty to the implementation of the project, our services seek to establish a dialogue with a project’s investors, decision makers, and financial backers to translate potential risks and mitigating solutions to be adopted into terms to be negotiated.
