Environment

Whether you are a prospective developer needing legal advice on contaminated land, a lender concerned about environmental risk exposure, or simply operating a business facing licensing issues, we can help by drawing together technical expertise and specific sector knowledge.  This covers waste, waste-water, corporate recovery, property finance and urban regeneration.

Our experienced environmental law team is highly regarded when it comes to guiding clients through regulatory procedures, defending them in court proceedings and challenging regulators where they make the wrong decisions. We ensure that you are kept up-to-date with the frequent changes in environmental legislation which pose challenges and opportunities for your business.

We also focus on helping clients to develop environmental management strategies to manage risk, improve profitability and contribute to their corporate social responsibility policies.

Working closely with our colleagues in our property, projects, and corporate teams, we ensure deals take into account current and potential environmental issues. We also offer particular expertise in waste and energy for clients in the private and public sectors.

"Clients felt that the lawyers were a delight to work with and praised the high levels of attention and response"  Chambers UK
