We identify existing and potential problems in corporate and real estate transactions, and suggest appropriate solutions. This may for instance comprice a commercial risk allocation between buyers and sellers after assessing how well a business complies with specific permits.
We advise on identifying the party responsible for remediation of contaminated sites or other forms of damage to the environment, e.g. in situations where several companies have been operating at the same location over a long period of time. We also assist in the contact with public authorities and in court proceedings.
Vinge has extensive experience of strategic deliberations in licensing processes, and we can assist in matters involving interested parties such as county administrative boards, municipalities, public authorities and the general public. We also draft permit applications in respect of assessments regarding environmentally hazardous activities and water operations, or in connection with appeals concerning such permits and licences.
We offer advise in connection with regulatory matters, and we also assist in contacts with supervisory authorities in relation to production and process modifications. We also analyse how such changes will affect existing permits and licences.
Moreover we can advise on producer liability, chemicals management and other issues which arise in relation to environmentally hazardous activities and water operations.
Our environmental lawyers possess specialist knowledge of legal environmental considerations and exemptions regarding protected areas such as Natura 2000 areas, protected species, shore protection and water protection.
We have long experience of working with technical consultants in connection with e.g. licence applications and remediation matters.
Thanks to Vinge’s full service offering as a business law firm, we can provide support in all matters relating to business law.
