For over two decades, Naschitz Brandes Amir has represented clients in high-stakes environmental regulatory, administrative, and litigation matters before governmental bodies and administrative authorities. Our work has contributed to the drafting and shaping of Israeli environmental legislation and policy in recent years.
We provide comprehensive legal counsel to help clients navigate complex environmental issues, including air and water pollution, land contamination, waste management, renewable energy usage, land use planning and development, noise and radiation pollution, and energy regulation.
Our environmental lawyers work seamlessly with the firm's corporate, real estate, finance, and litigation practices to advise buyers, sellers, lenders, underwriters, and developers on the environmental aspects of mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, financings, project development, securities offerings, bankruptcies, and governmental remediation programs. Our multidisciplinary approach allows us to deliver efficient, practical solutions to ongoing environmental challenges impacting day-to-day operations. We have significant experience in drafting environmental contract provisions, conducting environmental due diligence, and designing risk management and environmental compliance programs for corporate transactions.
We are also highly experienced in representing clients before administrative, civil, and criminal tribunals, government agencies, and governmental committees across a wide range of environmental matters. Our team acts for clients in environmental claims and class actions, regularly advising company officers and directors on civil and criminal liability arising from environmental violations and guiding them in mitigating risks associated with their business activities.
