About
Provided by Uría Menéndez
In a globalised economy in which business management is heavily influenced by risk management, the implications of climate change and the challenges it presents for business strategy require a holistic view of the legal, financial and reputational risks posed.
Our multidisciplinary team has more than 25 years’ experience and offers both preventive and corrective advice on environmental matters. We are in a position to establish a dialogue with public bodies and the main regulatory authorities, which allows us to closely follow developments affecting our clients’ interests.
We advise corporate groups whose activities have an environmental impact, regardless of their sector, and entities participating in M&A transactions raising environmental issues. Matters we handle include:
- Resolving environmental disputes within the context of criminal, administrative, civil and green tax proceedings: waste and circular economy, wáter, atmospheric pollution and soil contamination.
- Obtaining authorisations required to carry out activities.
- Coordinating corporate transactions with an environmental component
- Identifying and assessing environmental contingencies in due diligence processes.
