Environmental Law
Legal advice on environmental law for businesses operating in Uzbekistan.
Environmental Law advice for businesses operating in Uzbekistan.
Environmental requirements affect industrial and construction projects at the point where they are most expensive to remedy — after design is settled and capital is committed. Ecological expertise, permitting and emissions compliance are more usefully addressed at the planning stage.
Digests Global Law Firm advises on environmental obligations under the legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan, including the Law on Environmental Protection and the rules on state ecological expertise.
Our environmental practice covers:
- State ecological expertise, and the preparation of environmental impact assessment materials
- Permits for emissions, discharges and the handling of waste
- Environmental requirements applicable to construction and industrial projects
- Land reclamation and remediation obligations
- Environmental compliance in the acquisition of industrial assets, including assessment of liability inherited with the asset
- Administrative liability for environmental offences, and disputes with the supervisory authorities
- Compensation for environmental damage
We advise on what the legislation requires and on the cost of meeting it, so that environmental obligations can be priced into a project rather than discovered during it.
