Environment & Climate Change in China

Our lawyers in Hong Kong and China are some of the region’s leading legal practitioners, with substantial knowledge and experience in environmental and climate change law. We advise major multinational and local investors, contractors, financial institutions, governments and public sector authorities. We can advise on a full range of environmental issues from both a local and global perspective, and have extensive knowledge in related industries such as materials, manufacturing, mining, oil, gas and petroleum, natural resources, construction and infrastructure.

Our Climate Change and Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) practice is unmatched in the region. We have a market leading practice, helping many clients develop CDM projects and trade in certified emission reductions, i.e. carbon trading. Our experience extends beyond legal, commercial, regulatory and financing aspects of an environmental issue to include the review, drafting and negotiation of relevant documentation.
