Service Overview

With growing concern about the state of the environment, the subject of environmental law has evolved as one of the most significant current branches of law. Environmental law comprises a broad spectrum of legislation, enactments, and rules primarily concerned with regulating human activities in our natural environment and its numerous interconnected ecosystems. They ensure that people, governments, and organisations do not harm the environment or its ecosystems. Environmental law protects a wide range of environmental components, including water, air, forests, and other natural resources. Spiritus Legal, Advocates and Legal Consultants’ specialized team has advised clients on various aspects of environmental law such as:

  1. Electronic waste management
  2. Hazardous waste management
  3. Plastic waste management
  4. Pollution control
  5. Water conservation
  6. Wildlife protection
  7. Resource efficiency

Given the increasing importance that the worldwide society takes on environmental preservation, every corporation must adhere to the regulatory authorities’ norms. To maintain a seamless functioning, they should have all of the necessary contracts and permissions. However, taking into consideration a huge number of compliances and regular changes becomes tough for businesses. We have a strong team of attorneys to assist our customers in India and internationally on a wide range of environmental challenges. From deals through lawsuits, our team provides comprehensive support. We often interpret the environmental regulatory framework for our clients and assist them with all of their requirements.

We strike a balance between our clients’ business interests and environmental conservation, which is beneficial to both parties long-term growth.
