Reliable guidance through complex regulations

Environmental litigation
We represent clients in everything from permit applications for environmentally hazardous activities and water operations to supervisory matters, environmental crimes and damages disputes. With experience from hundreds of proceedings, we manage document-intensive and complex cases efficiently and in a structured manner.

Environmental impact assessments (EIA)
We ensure that EIAs meet the appropriate standards and fulfil legal requirements. Through close collaboration with technical consultants, we can quickly assess materials, manage the consultation process and focus on the critical issues.

Due diligence and land and water contamination
In corporate and real estate transactions, we assist with environmental due diligence, risk analysis and advice on liability, remediation and regulatory compliance, helping to minimise exposure and unexpected costs.

Water law
The regulations governing water operations are technically advanced. Our specialists assist with permit applications and disputes and provide advice on everything from water abstraction and dams to water services and municipal water and sewerage issues.

Protected areas and species protection
We handle matters relating to Natura 2000, shoreline protection and species protection, often as part of permit processes or development projects.

Regulatory frameworks such as IED, Seveso, REACH and extractive waste
We support clients in complex proceedings where EU law plays a central role.

Municipalities and authorities have significant influence over how land may be used. Regulations change frequently, and incorrect assessments at an early stage can become costly.

We work with matters such as planning and building law, development agreements, property formation, utility easements, expropriation and land access. We often manage development projects from start to finish in close collaboration with engineers, property managers and project leaders.

We provide strategic advice on work environment issues, handle criminal proceedings, review delegation structures and deliver training for organisations — from executive teams to safety representatives.

We have deep experience in permits, land access, electricity concessions and other areas of energy law. Foyen works broadly across the sector, including hydropower, gas, nuclear power, solar energy, wave energy and battery storage. Our clients include both Swedish and international actors.

We provide assistance throughout the entire chain — from exploration permits and exploitation concessions to construction contracts, environmental permitting and land access. We also handle species protection, cultural heritage matters and property acquisitions.

We work long-term with our clients or as support in individual projects. Our experience allows us to quickly understand an organisation’s operations and provide advice that is business-oriented, practical and legally sound.
