To this end, we spare no effort allocating the best Legal Professionals, with noted knowhow and experience in the environmental area, not just in terms of the doctrine, but above all in the application of the various administrative and court-level mechanisms available to address every actual situation.

It is no chance that we are often consulted not just by our peer lawyers, but also by public authorities and trade unions to provide opinions on nationally relevant matters. Insofar as possible, we provide reliable trusted that can be applied in various sectors or activities.

Driven by a holistic view of the environmental domain and aware of the subject’s cross-disciplinary nature, we surround ourselves with distinguished professionals in different domains of science, with a staff of notable scholars in environmental sciences, humanities, and exact sciences – that is, recognized, award-winning experts.

Because we are committed to highly specialized service seated on the principles of ethics and sustainability, without losing sight of healthy, respectful competition, our work adds value and inspires followers. We are looked up to in the Environmental Law arena, which brings us great satisfaction and makes us proud of our work and of the dedication of our staff. This has repeatedly earned us the legal profession’s recognition both in Brazil and internationally, making usleaders in the field.

While respecting the tradition of the great Legal Schools and Scholars, which are the pillars of our sustained progress, we constantly pursue innovation, as the current state of the environmental subject requires integration with today’s profound social, political and cultural changes, all of which require new concepts and raise new challenges.

Knowledge, skill, courage and fighting. Hard fighting. The story, which begins when standing up for environmental causes still faced massive social resistance. Milaré’s pioneering spirit, refusal to give in to hardship, and willingness to consider the context as a means to chart new routes led to innovative proposals that were gradually incorporated into the projects that he ran.

Although the incorporation of the environmental variable into public policy took a great many struggles, and created sharp conflicts, our leader always prized the unconditional defense of the Law in every public service position he ever held. At the same time, he never refrained from potential settlement deals when the law so allowed, using every effort to lead candid, transparent talks aimed at consensus, in pursuit of outcomes beneficial to all parties involved, without valuing one side of the case over others.

Naturally, this kind of attitude was not always met with victory. But the experience provided the basis for the pedagogy that our law firm uses , that is, to understand an issue in depth, and weight and think through every potential path before settling on a particular stance.
