Every significant industrial or development project leaves an environmental footprint. Georgian law demands that this footprint is rigorously measured, managed, and formally authorized. An environmental permit is not an optional extra; it is a fundamental legal requirement under Georgia's Environmental Assessment Code, serving as a company's pact with the environment and the community. Proceeding without one is a high-stakes gamble that can trigger immediate stop-work orders, severe financial penalties, and lasting reputational harm. Our firm provides the specialized legal engineering needed to secure this critical permit, ensuring your project can move forward with absolute legal certainty.
We provide comprehensive support in acquiring environmental permits for a wide range of activities. Whether your project involves land development, industrial production that generates emissions, or the implementation of a complex waste management system, we guide you through the entire regulatory pathway. This process begins with expert advisory to determine if your project requires a full Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), is subject to a screening procedure, or falls under other specific regulatory categories. We manage the entire process, from scoping and conducting public consultations to submitting a robust, scientifically-sound, and legally defensible assessment to the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture.
The obligations of an environmental permit extend throughout the full lifecycle of your project. We ensure you understand and can implement all conditions attached to your permit, including ongoing monitoring programs and mitigation measures. Should a dispute arise, we provide unwavering legal representation. Whether your operations are challenged for alleged non-compliance or your permit is contested by third parties, we act as your formidable advocate. We defend your project's integrity and your legal right to operate in administrative proceedings and in court, ensuring your growth is not only profitable but also legally and environmentally sustainable.
