With strong credentials in all manner of administrative, civil and criminal proceedings relating to natural resources, pollution, waste disposal, heritage and land use, the environmental law group at Cuatrecasas is retained by impressive client roster of large Spanish and multinational companies, especially key names within the energy and chemical sector. In addition to its capabilities in contentious matters, the firm is also well versed in the environmental implications of corporate transactions and projects. Focused on regulatory and energy-related mandates, Luis Pérez De Ayala steers the group from Madrid. The team is also home to Yolanda Guerra in Barcelona, who possesses deep knowledge of climate change and contentious matters, and Joaquín Lozano in Seville, who often advises on urban planning and regulatory issues.
