Expertise

Our expertise is focused on complex regulatory environments. We are active in administrative and environmental law matters. Thanks to our experience as attorney-at-law, company lawyer, and as in-house legal counsel to government bodies, we are able to examine cases from multiple perspectives.

 

We like clarity. In order to prevent the complexity of laws and regulations hinder you in achieving your business goals, we provide you with clear overviews of regulations affecting your business. We offer practical and realistic recommendations that will help you move your business forward.

 

We use our expertise to advise both smaller and larger companies. We willingly advise companies in strongly regulated industries such as mining, the chemical industry, waste and energy, aviation and agriculture.
