• Environmental Protection

Conscious of the increasing importance of environmental protection, the Firm has a staff of specialized lawyers in this field, who keep up with developments throughout the world and particularly in Mexico.

We provide counseling with respect to environmental impact authorizations and audits, waste management, air pollutant emissions, water consumption, waste water treatment and discharges, environmental site assessments, among other areas, in connection with or originating from the day to day basic activities of our clients, acquisitions, touristic developments, real estate operations and administrative procedures initiated by the environmental authorities.

We also advise our clients in the evaluation and implementation of Clean Development Mechanisms (CDM), by which projects to avoid and reduce green house gas emissions are executed, and certified emission reduction credits (CER) are earned in order to be traded and sold in international markets.

Furthermore, taking advantage of the experience and specialization of our lawyers in litigation and administrative proceedings, we are qualified to challenge all types of infringement claims and sanctions imposed in regard to this area, including, of course, the amparo proceeding against both unconstitutional laws and specific acts of a governmental authority.
