Besides acting in preventive measures and greenfield projects, we assist companies from the most diverse segments with consultations, administrative proceedings before environmental authorities, and lawsuits filed by the State and Federal Public Prosecutor Offices, NGOs, and third parties. We also have strong expertise in assisting clients to manage environmental accidents, crises, contaminated sites, and other critical situations that require communication, engagement with stakeholders, and negotiations of commitments, among others.
