Environment

The Environment Team advises on a wide range of contentious and non-contentious matters working closely with our other teams including real estate, banking projects, corporate finance and dispute resolution, in addition to carrying out an increasing amount of stand alone work.

In addition to technical skill and commercial acumen, our environment lawyers offer:

• experience in the industry having worked for local government, public sector bodies, regulators and other major players in the legal field;
• expertise in all aspects of national and EU environmental and health and safety  law;
• excellent relationships with regulatory bodies and local government.

Our approach is practical and commercial.  We help our clients assess risk and avoid problems. Where they do have problems, we help solve them. Where damage is inevitable, we strive to limit it, with particular emphasis on protecting a reputation and, when necessary, individuals.

In non-contentious areas, our environment lawyers undertake a wide variety of 'pure' environmental work, as well as advising on risk assessment in corporate, property and financing transactions. They also work closely with our specialists in the areas of planning, energy and EU law.
