Environment

Environment law in Vietnam plays a pivotal role in ensuring sustainable development and regulating activities that impact natural resources, ecosystems, and public health. Businesses across various industries must comply with stringent environmental regulations, including those related to environmental impact assessments (EIAs), waste management, emissions control, and pollution prevention. Failure to adhere to these regulations can result in penalties, operational delays, or reputational damage.
We provide comprehensive legal support to clients on environmental compliance, risk management, and regulatory approvals. Our services include advising on environmental due diligence, assisting with the preparation and submission of EIAs, and obtaining environmental permits. We also support clients in developing environmental management systems and representing them in administrative procedures or disputes related to environmental violations.
By partnering with us, businesses can navigate Vietnam’s evolving environmental regulations, ensure compliance, and adopt sustainable practices that align with both legal requirements and corporate responsibility goals.

Regulatory Compliance and Permitting

Obtaining the necessary environmental permits and approvals is crucial for the lawful operation of projects and avoiding penalties, delays, or operational suspensions.

We provide comprehensive legal support to clients in navigating environmental regulatory requirements and securing necessary permits. Our services include advising on the preparation and submission of EIAs, drafting environmental protection plans, and assisting with permit applications for water usage, hazardous waste management, and emissions control. We also represent clients in communications with environmental authorities and in responding to inspections or audits.

Environmental Due Diligence

Environmental Due Diligence (EDD) involves assessing land use rights, environmental liabilities, waste management practices, and the potential impact of existing or future operations on the environment. A thorough EDD helps identify potential legal and financial risks, ensuring informed investment and development decisions.

We provide comprehensive EDD services to clients by conducting in-depth assessments of environmental permits, regulatory compliance, and historical site usage. Our services include reviewing environmental impact assessments (EIAs), identifying potential liabilities related to contamination or non-compliance, and advising on mitigation measures. We also assist clients in drafting environmental warranties and indemnities for transactions to minimize post-deal risks.

Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility

Companies are expected to adopt sustainable operations, reduce environmental impacts, and comply with regulations related to waste management, emissions reduction, and resource conservation.

We provide strategic legal support to help clients integrate sustainability and corporate responsibility into their operations. Our services include advising on compliance, drafting sustainability policies, assisting with environmental reporting, and ensuring adherence to regulations related to climate change, renewable energy initiatives, and corporate social responsibility obligations.
