With our long experience with groundwater, we have successfully defended our clients' interest in various juridical processes. Our work has had an impact on significant precedents that have guided the conventions and practices of the field. We master the substance and the juridical framework crucial for our customers' success in the juridical processes. We prepare the documents our customers need for the process and we can assess the documents of some other party and prepare statements on behalf of our customers.
Ensuring groundwater intake requires that the groundwater formations stay in good condition far into the future. As the amount of usable groundwater formations have decreased, conflicts between different land use types have increased, especially in developing urban areas and in areas where groundwater resources are otherwise scarce. Thus, according to current legislation, getting permits for land use projects located within groundwater areas require groundwater investigations and possibly a water permit. Additionally, a statement must be asked from the water company of the area so that they can defend their interest.
We prepare such statements typically in soil extraction, crushing, land use planning, environmental permit and road processes. When preparing the statement, we consider all the hydrogeological information about the area and use our knowledge and expertise about environmental legislation. Our experience, investigations we have implemented and the work we have done for the waterworks help us to prepare successful and meaningful statements.

We can prepare statements in legal processes of various land use projects.
One of the most important parts of water supply are the good and cost-effective water permits that fulfil the need of the applicant and minimize the risks. A good water permit application and a groundwater investigation report are prepared as a whole, as according to our experience, that improves the conditions for obtaining the permit. As we are involved in the groundwater project from the beginning, we have all the necessary information to prepare a water permit application that makes the permit process smoother and faster and enables getting a better water permit.
Land use and water permit processes may lead to an unsatisfactory decision, an appeal process can be initiated. In such cases, we can prepare the appeal documents and defend our customers’ interest together with them. We also have a partner specialized in environmental law that we can use in the legal questions in needed. Our experience and expertise in appeal processes is also well illustrated by the fact that the documents we have drawn up have led to significant precedents for the field.
