Energy projects often face legal scrutiny related to environmental impact, permitting, emissions, and land use. We assist clients in managing disputes arising from environmental compliance issues, community objections, regulatory enforcement, and operational liabilities in the UAE and broader MENA region.
Our lawyers act for energy producers, infrastructure developers, and government-linked entities in matters involving contaminated land, air and water pollution claims, and alleged breaches of environmental regulations. We work alongside engineers, environmental consultants, and regulatory experts to construct a comprehensive case strategy.
In litigation or arbitration, we pursue efficient and strategic resolution paths—whether defending against government action or initiating claims related to construction, operation, or closure of energy facilities. We also help clients mitigate environmental risk through preemptive compliance reviews and contractual protections.
We offer legal advice on a wide spectrum of matters:
- Disputes involving environmental permits and regulatory breaches
- Claims related to pollution, contamination, and remediation
- Community or stakeholder objections to project approvals
- Cross-border enforcement of environmental obligations
- Arbitration involving energy sector ESG compliance or performance failures
