Legal expertise
We are a leading firm within the area of water law with a vast experience of advising clients in historical and modern water legislation.
The environmental law area is comparatively new area of law, characterized by rapid changes as well as extensive and detailed legislation affected by EU-regulations.
In Sweden there are several areas which have been contaminated by historical activities. In connection with acquisitions, mergers and the development of land and water areas, issues relating to liability for historical contamination are often triggered. We work with various aspects of the legal framework concerning contaminated areas and undertake work from both private operators and supervisory authorities. We also hold seminars on the subject.
We offer advisory services in connection with acquisitions and financing that involve aspects of environmental law. We execute environmental investigation, inspections, and assist in the drafting or reviewing of agreements. As an independent specialist law firm, we often assist other Swedish and international law firms in the Swedish environmental law area.
When land is claimed or when dispensations or applications of permits are rejected, questions regarding the right to compensation arise. We have substantial experience of processing matters regarding compensation and damages, both for private and public operators.
