AstapovLawyers is unique in its ability to bring substantial expertise and experience in any area of environmental protection law. Our team is intimately familiar with the complex schemes of production and safety regulation in metallurgical, chemical, mining and nuclear industries.

We regularly counsel companies on environmental compliance and the environmental aspects of acquisitions, international trade and real property transactions.

Our practice encompasses obtaining governmental approvals for new production lines and products, representing clients before the governmental agencies to obtain regulatory interpretations and clarifications, advising clients on compliance obligations and implementing company compliance programs, as well as pursuing judicial challenges to agency actions. A lot of such work relates to FDI transactions.
