Environmental law

CORAL AVOCATS’ lawyers have an extensive expertise in all areas of environmental law, including industrial environmental law (ICPE, water, waste and extended producer responsibility), biodiversity protection, natural and technological risks, climate change, air pollution, CSR, HSE, sustainable development and duty of care. They also specialize in energy and mining law (wind, solar, geothermal, methanization, lithium, etc.).

For our customers, we have developed expertise in the field of polluted sites and soils, energy saving certificates (CEE), extended producer responsibility in the building sector (PMCB) and packaging, as well as reuse (excavated soil transfer contracts, procedures for removing waste status, etc.).

They have also developed specific know-how by combining the expertise of our partners, at the crossroads of environmental law and public procurement law, town planning law and criminal law. This combined expertise enables them, for example, to assist local authorities in drafting tender documents incorporating environmental performance criteria, or to measure the criminal risk attached to the activities of companies in the industrial sector against the yardstick of environmental regulations.

They help their customers to secure their activities and take into account the related environmental risks, as well as to identify the actions they can take to protect and enhance their economic and environmental value by applying environmental regulations.

They mobilize all their knowledge and skills to support their customers - businesses, representatives of civil society and local authorities - in these areas, both in advisory and litigation capacities.

Finally, they give lectures and speak at numerous conferences in France and abroad, and publish articles in specialized journals and books on various environmental law topics. They also offer training courses for elected representatives and professionals (waste, ICPE, ecological damage, REP PMCB, greenwashing, etc.). These activities contribute to their in-depth knowledge of developments in environmental law, and enable them to keep abreast of the latest legal developments on behalf of their clients.
