Environmental criminal law is a constantly evolving field, with increasingly strict legislation and severe penalties for violations. Our firm represents individuals and businesses in cases involving pollution, illegal waste management, endangering flora and fauna, or noncompliance with biodiversity regulations.

Furthermore, this type of litigation often involves related offenses, such as involuntary manslaughter and involuntary injury.

Examples:

• Representing a corporation in a judicial investigation before a specialized court in a pollution case (deliberate discharge of chemicals into the sewer system);

•Representing a company in connection with an industrial fire that had environmental consequences;

•Representing a company referred to criminal court for unintentional pollution of marine waters resulting from a shipwreck;
