SA Keskkonnaõiguse Keskus

SA Keskkonnaõiguse Keskus, known in English as the Estonian Environmental Law Center (EELC), specializes in environmental law and policy. The organization provides legal aid, conducts analyses, and participates in drafting environmental acts to ensure sound application of environmental rules.

The center has built a strong reputation for practical expertise in environmental decision making, Natura 2000 related matters, environmental impact assessments, and strategic litigation. It collaborates with national and international partners, including NGOs, government ministries, and environmental authorities to advance public environmental interests.

Client service is a hallmark of the practice as it delivers accessible trainings, publishes a monthly environmental law newsletter, and offers paid services as a social enterprise to fund its work. Its user friendly approach extends to legal aid and analyses that translate complex rules into practical guidance for clients.
