Environmental

Our Environmental Law practice has vast experience in the environmental regulation for all types of investment projects (mining, energy, sanitary, infrastructure, etc.) and environmental legal due diligence. Our clients turn to us knowing our environmental team is at the forefront of the evolving Chilean environmental legislation.
Our lawyers achieve results in environmental administrative proceedings, environmental damage liability trials and the sanctioning of administrative proceedings for failure to comply with environmental resolutions subject to the Environmental Impact Assessment System.
We have assisted companies which have submitted projects to the Environmental Impact Assessment System with their Environmental Impact Statements and Studies, and further assisted them in obtaining environmental permits. We have also performed environmental legal audits to verify compliance with the environmental, health and labor safety regulations applicable to specific projects.
Our Environmental team complements our other legal services and practice areas, such as the investigation of possible environmental liabilities derived from a merger or acquisition involving real estate.
