Environmental law

ESG is conceptually linked to public law (environmental), in particular compliance with public law environmental protection requirements. We provide comprehensive advice on public law, compliance with environmental law requirements, regulatory aspects, the increasingly important “green aid” and the guidelines for climate, environmental and energy aid as well as on the defence of repayment claims.

Weitere Schwerpunkte aus der Expertise "ESG"

Climate lawsuits and greenwashing

Companies are facing increasing demands in environmental law and in the consideration of climate protection goals. We advise and support you in the defence against climate claims and greenwashing allegations in out-of-court disputes as well as before civil and administrative courts. We also work with you to develop strategies to counteract any potential loss of reputation.

Supply chain and whistleblowers

Since 2024, domestic companies with at least 1,000 employees have been legally obliged to manage risks in the supply chain. OPPENLÄNDER helps you to comply with the legal requirements and introduce a suitable compliance framework.

“Green” antitrust law

Companies want or need to take sustainability aspects into account. This sometimes involves a great deal of effort. It therefore makes sense to cooperate with other companies, but these cooperations must comply with antitrust regulations. We advise you on the limits of such sustainability co-operations, support you in coordinating with the authorities and legally secure your business decisions.
