ENVIRONMENTAL LAW

Environmental issues are gaining prominence on Mexico's national agenda. A heightened environmental awareness and toughening of laws will present growing challenges for firms doing business in Mexico. Our lawyers are experienced in working with statutes and regulations concerning air and water pollution and hazardous and solid waste management.

We consider environmental issues early in corporate transactions because these issues can have a major effect on the financing, cost and location of a business entity. In fact, they may determine whether or not it is feasible to follow through on a particular transaction.

Goodrich, Riquelme helps its clients comply with environmental regulations. We handle environmental enforcement proceedings, as well as filings for permit applications and challenges to administrative decisions. In addition, we keep our clients up-to-date on government environmental rulings and regulations.
