When might you engage an administrative or environmental lawyer?

Administrative law deals with all legal relationships involving the government. As an entrepreneur, do you want to expand or become more sustainable? You will soon have to deal with various government bodies, such as the municipality or province. Matters may concern permits, enforcement, and supervision. An administrative lawyer supports you in consultations or in the proceedings.

Environmental law is a part of administrative law. It consists of the laws governing all changes to the physical environment, such as issues surrounding construction, housing and the environment. Besides issues in the specific area of environmental law, we also specialize in similar procedural issues concerning more general government regulations. An administrative lawyer can help you:

  • Apply for a licence to set up catering establishments;
  • Seek certification of companies in the food industry;
  • Obtain waivers and exemptions;
  • File objection proceedings against an environmental permit;
  • Explain your legal options within a zoning plan.

The sub-area that applies depends on your legal issue. The rules differ for each sub-area. An administrative lawyer is aware of the different areas, local situations and regulations.
