- The current Environmental Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan has tightened requirements for businesses: the liability of facility operators has been strengthened, and new requirements for Category I facilities have been introduced. Violations of environmental legislation can result in substantial fines (including those equal to economic benefit) as well as suspension of enterprise operations.
- Our team members have unique experience representing the interests of industrial enterprises in multi-billion environmental disputes. We also have experience successfully challenging environmental inspections regarding exceedances of emission/discharge standards, absence of pollutants in projects, and waste management.
- In addition to supporting environmental inspections and their appeals, we advise clients on all matters of environmental legislation, potential risks, and assist in obtaining environmental permits.
