Energy & Environmental Law

Energy and Environmental Law is a critical and rapidly evolving area of law that affects individuals, organizations, and communities throughout Sierra Leone. At Fides LLP, we understand the importance of these issues and are dedicated to providing high-quality legal representation to clients in this field. Our team of experienced lawyers has a deep understanding of energy and environmental law, as well as the unique challenges that clients in this area face.

​

One of the key services we offer is advising clients on the regulatory requirements for projects and activities that have potential impacts on the environment. This can include helping clients to understand their legal obligations under various environmental laws and regulations, and assisting them in obtaining the necessary permits and approvals for their projects. Our lawyers have a thorough understanding of the Sierra Leone Environmental Protection Act, the Energy Act, and other relevant laws, and can provide guidance on how to comply with these regulations.

Another important aspect of our practice is representing clients in litigation and administrative proceedings related to environmental and energy issues. This can include cases involving air and water pollution, waste management, and wildlife conservation. Our lawyers have experience litigating these types of cases and have a track record of achieving successful outcomes for our clients.

​

We also assist clients with compliance matters and provide guidance on how to comply with environmental and energy laws and regulations. This can include conducting audits, reviewing and developing policies, and providing training to employees. We work closely with our clients to help them understand their legal obligations and ensure they are meeting all necessary requirements.

​

Advising on Climate change mitigation and adaptation is another area of our practice. We assist clients in preparing carbon offset projects, REDD+ and climate financing, and can advise on the most recent development in climate change policy and law.

​

We also assist companies and organizations to conduct environmental and social impact assessments, and to develop and implement environmental and social management plans in order to identify and mitigate potential environmental and social risks.
