Environmental Law

Advisers on all aspects of complex, large-scale matters in environmental law

Ascente handles complex regulatory and contractual issues within environmental law. Our team provides legal advice on many of Sweden's most high-profile environmental permit proceedings in different industry sectors as well as liability matters concerning polluted land. 

Our clients operate in the private and public sectors, and we have mandates both in Sweden and internationally. We advise on projects from planning to execution and act as both a strategic adviser and as legal representatives in permitting and other legal proceedings.

“We lead a highly skilled, close-knit team. We monitor regulatory changes closely, often providing both advice to clients as well as input to industry organizations and other stakeholders before new regulations are adopted.”
