From the very beginning of the EPL’s work, the environmental advocacy is priority of our organization. Our lawyers are well-known in Ukraine and worldwide as professionals that through their court and administrative cases, consultations and law-drafting help citizens and NGOs to protect their environmental rights and interests.

We provide legal consultations in the field of environmental law and other branches of law, directly associated with environmental rights and interests. In addition, we help to draw up petitions, complaints and other legal documents on environmental issues.

When needed, we represent our clients in all public institutions, enterprises, offices, organizations, competent to solve the corresponding issue. Our court and administrative cases aim to protect environmental rights and interests of individuals, as well as public interest in general.

An important direction of our activity is the preparation of proposals on adopting, changing and supplementing of the environmental legislation of Ukraine. Participation in the law-drafting promotes the reflection of the public interests in the decision-making process.

We involve students of our clinical program to the above-mentioned work. They work on cases, provide consultations and participate in the law-drafting process with supervision of our experienced lawyers.

The environmental advocacy’s work promotes higher responsibility of the state officials concerning the respect for the environmental rights, the enforcement of the environmental legislation by courts, and transparency in the work of the state and local authorities.
