Protection of the environment has become more than an issue of legal compliance. It is a global challenge, raising issues that go to the heart of how our clients do business. Working together we can help you understand this complex and changing area of regulation, improve existing practices and explore new ways of delivering a positive impact on the environment.

Our team can help with all aspects of environmental law, including water quality and pollution, permitting requirements, contamination issues, waste management, product packaging and regulatory investigations.

Our global team provides specialist advice and support in respect of the increasing range of environmental issues faced by businesses.

In addition to supporting our clients in staying compliant, we also help them in those instances where things go wrong. More than ever, with the ESG agenda rising, non-compliance with environmental requirements or a failure to address potential liabilities can carry significant financial penalties and reputational risks for businesses.

Our team has expertise in relation to:

Managing historic contamination issues as part of development strategies
Permitting, Licensing and Consent Requirements
Water Quality and Pollution
Waste Management/Supply Chain
Design, implementation and audit of environmental management systems
Product Packaging Requirements
Regulatory Investigations/Enforcement Action.

Whatever the challenge, wherever it arises, we are confident that we can add value to your business and ensure that your company has the necessary environmental legal framework in place.
