Environmental Law

TARK GRUNTE SUTKIENE team of environmental law specialists ranks among the best in Baltic States.

TARK GRUNTE SUTKIENE team advises on issues of compliance with environmental standarts, systems management and liability as well as on the environmental implications of corporate and financing transactions, such as negotiations over warranties and indemnities in acquisitions and sales. We also help our clients with the environmental aspects of the due diligence process.

For our long-term clients we provide legal assistance for obtaining licenses and permits for exploration and extraction of resources. We provide professional advice in relation to the legal consequences of pollution, the requirements and conditions with respect to performance of activities that pollute, activities with SEG emission quotas, waste management legal regimes, normative regulation of territorial planning, legal aspects of environmental impact assessments, the legal regime of protection zones, and protected areas and the restrictions set forth therein.

We have excellent experience in handling matters involving mining rights, waste disposal, water regulation as well as other aspects of environmental law practice. For example we have advised the Estonian Environmental Inspectorate on the enforcement of the pollution tax against an Estonian railway company, oil shale mining concessions and substitution of pollution tax with investment commitments.

We also represent clients in court with respect to the above matters.
