The environmental problems faced
by companies in Latin America
- A company often has to assess the viability of present and
future projects without knowing the basics.
- Companies are not always able to take advantage of lobbying
opportunities or partake in the drafting of local environmental laws because they
don’t find out about initiatives until it’s too late.
- Companies cannot properly manage the risks without knowing
the legal consequences.
- Local environmental counsel is often difficult to locate in
time.
- Good materials on Latin American environmental law are
difficult, if not impossible, to find.
- Some materials are out-of-date and useless.
- Others are incomprehensible because of a poor understanding
of the U.S. perspective or because of shoddy and misleading literal translations of
important concepts.
