Natural Resources and Environment

Environmental and related natural resource issues are truly global in nature, transcending borders and requiring multinational responses. Companies operating in multiple jurisdictions need the help of lawyers with broad experience across regions to navigate this changing landscape.

Alexander & Partner’s lawyers have in-depth experience with environmental and resource distribution laws and regulations across the MENA-Region and Sub-Saharan Africa, in particular international water resources. The variety and depth of our experience in this sector makes our advice distinct and valuable.

Our lawyers will work with you to plan for compliance with changing regulations and standards throughout the MENA-Region and Sub-Saharan Africa.
