The sizable, ‘skilled’, and ’available’ team at LPA-CGR avocats is well-equipped to handle the range of environmental mandates. Areas of expertise include dealing with polluted industrial sites, water, and soils, urban planning, and waste management, while environmental litigation is an additional key area of expertise for the group. Practice head Frédérique Chaillou provides advisory, transactional, and contentious support and is lauded for her ‘expertise and personal commitment’. Additional key contacts include all-rounder Vincent Sol and Anne Delorme, whose practice encompasses matters relating to waste management and soil and air pollution. Fabrice Cassin left the firm in June 2024, and François Versini-Campinchi departed in May 2024.
