The Environmental Law field constitutes the historical area of expertise and the core practice of the Savin Martinet Associés Law Firm. All Firm members possess a strong knowledge (financial, economic and legal) in this practice area.

The law firm of Savin Martinet Associés has the expertise to deal with every type of environmental law issue companies are facing. Its services include regulatory audits, due diligence work, purchase and sale audits, environmental risk analysis, the negotiation of environmental clauses in contracts (liability guarantees, etc.), help with classified facilities, case monitoring in conjunction with DRIRE, or French Regional Industry, Research and Environmental Departments and so on.

Patricia Savin, who holds a doctoral degree in environmental law, has always focused primarily on environmental law in her professional practice.

Yvon Martinet is expert at the French Institute of International Law Experts (I.F.E.J.I.) in environmental and natural resources law.

Savin Martinet Associés can coordinate various aspects of environmental assistance and helps its clients choose the consulting experts and environmental engineering firms able to meet their needs.

The firm practice covers all aspects of pollution and nuisance law, including facilities classified for environmental protection (types A, D and S), water, air, waste, all types of spills or releases, hazardous material transport and storage, etc.

The problems associated with asbestos, termites, lead and VOCs, in particular in the real property field, is a specialty of the firm.

In addition, since the NRE law introduced the requirement that companies listed on the stock exchange include environmental and social impact information in their annual reports, Savin Martinet Associés has been helping firms draft environmental reports by conducting regulatory audits, on an as-needed basis.
