Environmental laws have become
increasingly stringent in recent years. In light of
this, organisations need practical legal advice on their
actual and potential environmental liabilities and
responsibilities.
Our environment group regularly
advises both corporate and public sector clients on a wide range of
environmental liability and compliance issues arising out
of:
- Contaminated land
- Water pollution
- Environmental damage
- Waste
- Noise and other forms of nuisance
- Climate change and emissions trading
- Radioactive substances
- Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control
- Hazardous substances
Advice on environmental issues is often required when
clients are considering entering into some form of transaction with
another organisation. Our lawyers have particular expertise in
dealing with environmental liabilities and compliance in a
transactional context and are well versed in environmental due
diligence techniques, methods for handling environmental
liabilities and responsibilities and the negotiation of appropriate
transaction documentation.
