·      Proceedings related to cross-border impact on the environment

·      Environmental risks in the operation of large industrial plants (e.g. chemical plants), including emissions and waste management

·      Liability for environmental damage, including historical contamination

·      Liability of businesses and managers for damage to the environment or for violation of environmental law

·      Environmental aspects of non-financial (ESG) reporting

·      Participation in the greenhouse gas emission allowance trading scheme

·      Obligations involving management of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and end-of life vehicles

·      Legal services for healthcare facilities.

We cooperate with lawyers from other practices (M&A, real estate, energy, criminal law, administrative law and proceedings, public procurement law). Through our multidisciplinary approach, we develop pragmatic solutions for today and the future.
