Specialized and multidisciplinary team
Our environmental team is composed by professionals with double graduation: a Bachelor of Laws and a scientific degree such as Geography (see Amália S. Botter Fabbri) and Biology (see Joana Cristina Bernardini).
Assistance in the full range of environmental matters
A quality that makes our team stands out is the capability to assist clients not only on the consultancy sphere of environmental issues but also conducting judicial and administrative proceedings (as seen in the work highlights herein). Unlikely other firms in the Chambers’ Environmental table, which have the litigation matters related to environmental issues handled to their litigation teams, our team is responsible for this kind of litigation matters; putting us in a unique position to bring a more deep and complex view to our client’s cases.
High profile cases
Our environmental department has the structure of a full-service law firm to support in many cases in different economy sectors.
