Environmental Law

The way in which the environment is perceived and regulated has changed dramatically in recent years as a result of both climate change and the increasing interaction of environmental laws with health and safety and product liability law. The emergence of climate emergency and imperative social issues have also been a catalyst for significant regulatory and structural changes, positioning environmental, social and governance ("ESG") issues at the forefront of sustainability considerations.

Due to environmental and planning legislation, challenges are increasingly being imposed on all types of industries, having an impact on the performance, viability and sustainability of a business or on the way products or services are manufactured, delivered, disposed of or otherwise managed.

Our legal team works closely with clients to pre-empt, reduce and mitigate environmental or health & safety risks and provide bespoke legal advice to avert serious incidents, to avoid liability or to respond to any civil or criminal claims. In addition, we provide comprehensive ESG management, net zero strategies and identifies risks and obligations arising from ESG. Ultimately, the firm acknowledges and understands that environmental awareness, compliance and prevention are important components of good governance and risk management.
