Schultz Carrasco Benitez advises its clients strategically on all matters related to compliance of environmental and administrative regulations, including environmental audits and the assessment of activities or projects in the Environmental Impact Assessment System. The firm also has vast experience in compliance of rules, principles and standards of ILO Convention No. 169 – Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention (1989), and the early assessment of communities and indigenous factors to be considered in the development of an investment project.

The firm also advises its clients in mining, energy, agro-industrial, water treatment and real estate projects, accompanying them before the Superintendence of the Environment or other authorities in case of an inspection/sanctioning process, and also taking charge of their administrative and judicial defence before the Environmental and Higher Courts of Justice.

The Environmental Department is well known not only for its high quality legal advice; but also for its strategic problem-solving, and for being capable of working in interdisciplinary teams. The firm works in a legal/strategic way, permanently thinking on how the authorities are going to act, predicting their decisions with a strong results-oriented focus. They understand how the government works.
