Awards & Recognition

Environmental Finance magazine named us Best Law Firm for our work with the EU Emissions Trading and Kyoto Project Credits in 2005 and 2006.
Environment, Consumer & Social Responsibility
Compliant and Competitive

In Brazil, advances in environmental laws and the country’s growing role in international markets can impact how your company operates. Sanctions for environmental, ethical and social violations can be severe and damage your reputation, market share and competitive position.

You need to do more than follow the rules. You need to stay current and be ready to adapt to new requirements.

Trench, Rossi e Watanabe can help you comply with the regulations and help build your reputation as a socially and environmentally responsible company. An associate of international law firm Baker & McKenzie, we further provide you with insight into the regulations and ethics of more than 35 countries worldwide.

We offer knowledge and experience in all aspects of environmental legislation – from biodiversity protection to waste management to safety in the workplace. We can alert you to new laws and identify areas in your business where compliance is strong or lacking.
