Natural Resources and Environment
Legal support in environmental and natural resources matters: compliance with environmental legislation, permits and licences, turnkey project support, and land and natural resource use.
More about the practice
In the context of European integration and the harmonisation of Ukrainian legislation with EU norms, state regulation in the field of the environment is becoming ever stricter: new standards and norms are being introduced, and requirements for environmental impact assessment, permit procedures and liability for violations are tightening. For business, this means that environmental requirements are no longer a formality — non-compliance can halt a project, block the issuance of a permit or lead to significant penalties.
The GOLAW team supports clients in environmental and natural resources matters at every stage — from assessing environmental risks and obtaining permit and licensing documentation to comprehensive turnkey support of investment projects. We advise on compliance with environmental legislation in the course of implementing investment projects, helping to resolve complex tasks and ensure that activities conform to the new environmental requirements.
Our clients are companies implementing projects with an environmental impact, investors, industrial enterprises and land users for whom it is important to operate in a lawful, predictable and sustainable manner.
