Lauded for its 'impeccable technical quality', the 'business-oriented' team at Greenberg Traurig, S.C. is well-positioned to assist with obtaining environmental and regulatory permits, contaminated sites, waste and air emission matters, and environmental due diligence for M&A transactions. The practice group's broad client base routinely features corporations in the financial services, healthcare, retail and agribusiness sectors. The practice is led by Erick Hernández Gallego, who specialises in advisory environmental, energy and urban development matters. Also noted is of counsel Luis Jorge Akle, who is praised for his 'very comprehensive advice' and majors on environmental regulatory compliance, environmental impact assessments and the structuring of conventional and renewable energy projects. A recent mandate of note saw the group assist US-based fruit and vegetable producer Taylor Farms with the amendment of their waste-water discharge permit at its facility in Guanajuato.
