• environmental criteria for doing business
• environmental approvals, permits and licenses and their transferability
• impact studies and environmental management programs

• EIA and EA procedures related to investment and construction projects

• air and water pollution, and land contamination
• environmental liability
• health and safety at work
• environmental litigation, including damage claims for pollution and other environmental harm
• contractual allocations of environmental risks
