Nature conservation law

Natura 2000 and species protection increasingly form a barrier to area and business developments. In particular, the constantly changing nitrogen regulations are causing stagnation and bringing construction projects to a halt. We provide legal certainty in advance, guide permit procedures, and develop strategies to make projects possible after all.

Case example

A client was denied a nature permit for expansions due to nitrogen restrictions. Through a combination of mitigating measures, case law establishing that deposition need not be zero to be considered significant, and an on-site visit by an ecologist confirming that the local vegetation was in good condition, we were nonetheless able to secure approval for the expansion plans.
