Environment

Environmental crimes are governed by the Italian Environmental Code, which provides for both administrative and criminal penalties. The code addresses a wide range of offenses, including illegal waste disposal, pollution, and trafficking in hazardous materials. Recent legislative reforms have further strengthened environmental protections by introducing new criminal offenses, such as environmental disaster and obstruction of environmental inspections.

The Clauser Law Firm has developed specialized expertise about the subject over the years, also thanks to a wide range of specialized consultants.

Construction and Landscape Protection

Construction offenses are governed by specific regulations that prohibit unauthorized construction activities and violations of building permits. These offenses can result in both criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including the demolition of unauthorized structures. Additionally, the law imposes strict penalties for construction activities carried out in areas protected for historical, artistic, or environmental reasons.

The Clauser Legal Firm provides legal advice and representation in cases involving construction offenses, including disputes related to building permits, zoning regulations, and heritage protection.
