About this procedure
The environmental permit is the approval with which the environmental authority, currently the Ministerio del Poder Popular para el Ecosocialismo, authorizes activities that can have an impact on the environment to operate. The Ley Orgánica del Ambiente (Organic Environmental Law) starts from a serious principle: protecting the right to a healthy environment is a duty of the State and of society. That's why every activity capable of degrading the environment, such as industries, plants, workshops, and activities that handle substances or generate waste, must be properly authorized before and during its operation. It's not a procedure for every business, but for those it applies to, it's non-negotiable.
Not having it carries some of the heaviest consequences in the whole permit landscape: operating without the environmental permit your activity requires exposes you to steep fines, a shutdown of operations and, most delicate of all, environmental liability that can reach both the company and the people in charge of it. In environmental matters the law doesn't play around, because behind it is a legally protected interest with constitutional rank. On top of that, an environmental proceeding is one of the most likely to get tangled without advice, because it combines the technical and the legal.
We get you compliant: we assess exactly which environmental authorization your activity requires, gather and organize the technical and legal documents, and handle your environmental permit with the competent authority. The price starts at $150 and is adjusted to the complexity of your activity. A lawyer reviews your situation and confirms with you before we start, no strings attached.
