Brazil > Environment

Based in Porto Alegre, Souto Correa Advogados‘ environmental and sustainability group is equipped to assist a varied corporate client base – including well-known names from the forestry, energy, construction, infrastructure and retail sectors – in a broad range of contentious and transactional work. The team has recently experienced an uptick in mandates concerning waste management, reverse logistics and climate change, and continues to be engaged in matters involving contaminated sites, pollution, protected areas and water resources. Leading the practice is Fabiana Figueiro, whose extensive experience in the environmental sphere includes licensing, administrative proceedings and judicial litigation. Juliana Pretto Stangherlin attracts regular instructions from the pulp and paper and energy sectors. Mariana Vicente Níquel often undertakes environmental due diligence in relation to M&A, capital markets and real estate transactions; this is also a key expertise for André Castilho.
