Practices
Environmental and Carbon Market
Our involvement with oil and gas projects and, at the same time, with energy generation through less polluting sources, has quickly led to our involvement with opportunities related to the sale of carbon credits and, also, with companies that seek to neutralize their emissions through the purchase of these credits.
Also in the environmental field, we provide legal assistance in environmental licensing of new projects and all legal issues related thereto, generally working in partnership with specialized consultants.
We are prepared to provide the following services:
- assistance in issuing and acquiring carbon credits;
- general assistance during the process of obtaining an environmental license and in renewal or transfer thereof;
- assistance in the preparation of environmental impact studies;
- defense in administrative and judicial proceedings arising out of default of legal obligations or compensation for environmental damages;
- negotiation of conduct adjustment agreements;
- assistance in relationships with communities affected by projects, including indigenous, quilombola and other communities;
- assistance in public hearings to obtain environmental licenses;
- management of crises resulting from environmental damages;
- assessment of compliance with environmental conditions; and
- assessment of environmental risks and liabilities.
